> June 15, 2022 – With the California primaries and thus the initial stage of the mayoral election over,
>
> Angelenos must consider and decide between the two remaining candidates before the November run-off.
>
> A major concern for voters is the climate crisis, for which candidate, real-estate mogul, and billionaire Rick
>
> Caruso has no plan. That’s right–no plan. There is not a single mention of anything to do with the
>
> environment on his website, beyond a brief subheading on the “Meet Rick Caruso” page detailing his time
>
> working with the DWP. He spends ½ of the paragraph bragging about saving the DWP from financial ruin,
>
> and the other ½ describing a shift to renewable energy he pushed in 1997 with the Green Power
>
> Program, which only works to compensate energy and electricity providers for manufacturing an
>
> unknown amount of “clean” or “green” energy.
>
> Rick Caruso owns several major properties in the LA county area that bring in millions of dollars per year,
>
> money that is directly funding his $40 million campaign. On June 17th, Extinction Rebellion Youth Los
>
> Angeles will gather at the Americana at Brand–one of these Caruso-owned profit-generating
>
> properties–to demand that climate action be a centerpiece in politics, even on the city level.
>
> Youth are angry at the prospect of a mayor who has no plans to fight for a sustainable, livable future for
>
> Angelenos, and are fed up with a state of climate emergency being continuously pushed to the wayside in
>
> favor of profit.
>
> Our plan for the 17th of June is as follows:
>
> 1\. At 3:00 PM, we will assemble at the Glendale Central Park. There, we will have a rally featuring
>
> speakers and activists from Brown Bears, YCSLA, Sunrise, XRLA, Veterans for Peace, Climate Action
>
> Campaign, and fellow members of XR Youth LA.
>
> 2\. Following our rally, we will march from Glendale Central Park to the Brand entrance of the
>
> Americana at Brand. We will then march through the Americana.
>
> 3\. Then, we will be having another piece of this action that we are not disclosing to the public. If you
>
> are interested in covering it, email xryouthla@gmail.com.
>
> 4\. After this part of the action, we will continue our march to Caruso Ave and end with another short
>
> rally.

> “The issue is, the youth are the ones that will have to deal with the consequences of a mayor with no
>
> climate action plan for the longest amount of time, whether our futures reside in LA or not. LA is the second
>
> largest city in the country, and it must set an example on how to progressively repair the present state of
>
> the climate and prevent future damage. We need radical action–and we need radical action now. This is not
>
> just a political talking piece–these are our futures. This is not an issue we can afford to have neglected in
>
> city politics–these are our futures.” - Sasha Rotko, 17, Communications Coordinator, XRYLA
