Together, with locked arms

Los Angeles is turning a corner — together.   Hi there, When I became mayor, I said I would treat our homelessness crisis like the emergency that it is. Not with slogans but with real, human solutions. And for the first time in nearly 20 years, we’re seeing real progress. We’ve bro…

Trump’s “experiment” ends now

  Good afternoon. From the beginning, I’ve said that Los Angeles is being used as a test case by the Trump administration, and I’m doing everything I can to ensure that experiment ends here.  The withdrawal of 2,000 National Guards and 700 Marines from our city was a victory. But t…
