AGENDA

CD4 Community Trick-or-Treat Renter Outreach

Dear Friends, 

Since its start, the goal of our Volunteer Corps has been to continue to channel a shared enthusiasm for change across our district. Ten months in, this energy has made sharing vital information to District 4 renters, providing services to unhoused residents, and helping clean up our beloved parks, possible. 

To celebrate the incredible work of all the volunteers who have dedicated time and energy so far, and to invite those new to getting involved with our office to learn more, join Councilmember Raman, CD4 staff, and community partners this Sunday, October 24th from 12 pm to 2 pm for a spook-tacular gathering, with speakers, food, and fun!

We’ll be meeting at De Longpre Park (1350 N Cherokee Ave), and will have an optional volunteer opportunity with the CD4 team, notifying renters in the area about State rental assistance, to follow. RSVP at bit.ly/cd4trickortreat! 

Hope to see you there!

Best, 
Team CD4

JOIN US FOR OUR NEXT NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT DAY! 
Last month, we hosted our first Neighborhood Support Day, with an incredible offering of services and resources, made possible with the generosity of partner organizations and hard work of our volunteers!
LA This Week: Neighborhood Support Day in Council District 4

We’re excited to announce our next Neighborhood Support Day, coming to District 4 on Thursday, October 28th — this time in Sherman Oaks!

We’ll need volunteer help with set-up and breakdown, welcoming attendees and more — sign up HERE to get involved. 

GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT 100% RENT & UTILITY RELIEF
Since its launch in September, our Volunteer Corps has been getting the word out about California’s emergency rental assistance program! This program from the State covers 100% of rent and utilities owed since the start of the pandemic for qualifying Angelenos. It’s not too late to join us to let residents in District 4 know about this opportunity!

Volunteers are going door-to-door to talk to renters about this new round of funds, and to help connect them to additional assistance from office staff and other local organizations, starting with a thorough training from CD4 staff. This is a great chance for all experience levels to make real-time change in our communities. To sign up, fill out the form at bit.ly/cd4rentoutreach!

STANDING WITH STREET VENDORS IN CALLING FOR STATE-LEVEL CHANGE
The legalization of street vending in LA came from 10 YEARS of organizing — but we need to finish this work at the State level. I was proud to stand with Inclusive Action, Community Power Collective, and street vendors from across LA to urgently demand California enact changes to remove barriers to permits.

One of these barriers is California’s food code. Last month, I introduced a resolution calling for a code made with vendors in mind. I look forward to next steps on this resolution and to action from the state — together, we can ensure Los Angeles’ street vendor community can continue to be a defining characteristic of the city we all call home. 

ENSURING EQUITY IN EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS FOR CANNABIS USERS
Despite the legality of both medical and recreational cannabis, a positive test can still negatively impact one’s current employment or chances of being hired.

Last week, I introduced a resolution in support of State Assemblymember Bill Quirk’s bill AB1256 prohibiting this type of discrimination. 

Oftentimes, the tests used by employers will find traces of non-psychoactive cannabis metabolites, which can stay active in a user’s system for weeks, and which do not correlate with on-the-job impairment.

This bill follows the lead of twenty-one states with laws protecting employment rights for medical cannabis users, and five states, plus several cities such as New York City and Washington DC, protecting recreational cannabis consumers’ employment rights. It can help advance a workforce in California that is strong, robust, and equitable, and I am proud to support it through this resolution.

CLEANING UP CENTRAL HOLLYWOOD

My family and I had a great time with the Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council (CHNC) Beautification Day, painting the curb and picking up trash at the Highland Ave and Santa Monica Ave intersection. CHNC hosts regular cleanups in the community — I encourage any neighbors in the Hollywood area looking to get involved and have fun doing it to get in touch HERE!

CONSTITUENT CONVERSATIONS ACROSS CD4

I am always thrilled to gather and speak directly to residents of our wonderful district! This weekend, I had two chances to do so, at backyard meetups with groups in Lake Hollywood and Hancock Park, to discuss issues and answer questions unique to their neighborhoods.  

We look forward to joining more of these conversations across CD4. If you’re interested in coordinating a meetup for your neighborhood, we encourage you to reach out to your Field Deputy or at [email protected] to let us know!

A ‘BEHIND THE BAR’ EXPERIENCE AT STARBUCKS

I had the pleasure of joining the fantastic team at Starbucks in Hollywood to discuss challenges affecting their stores, how our office can be of assistance, and opportunities to partner with them in the future — and to tap into my old barista experience (my very first job!) to serve up patient customers. Thank you to Diana, Janessa, Adriana, and Mary for your leadership and hospitality!

NEW PEDESTRIAN BEACON IN HOLLYWOOD

LA’s pedestrians deserve streets that don’t put their lives at risk. The newly-installed flashing beacon at La Brea Avenue and De Longpre Avenue is an exciting and important development in ensuring Angelenos can safely walk in this high-traffic area in Hollywood. We thank the LA Department of Transportation for all their hard work in creating safer streets in CD4!

Free Webinar on Cyber Security

SDCCU Invites the Community to Attend a Free Webinar on Cyber Security for Cyber Security Awareness Month

 

Expert Jim Stickley provides valuable insight into current cyber attacks, including coronavirus scams and threats as part of SDCCU’s Financial Wellness Wednesdays

 

 

 

SAN DIEGO, Calif., (October 12, 2021) –  San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), one of California’s largest locally-owned financial institutions, is going one on one with cyber security expert Jim Stickley with an interactive interview on Wednesday, October 20, 2021 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. (PT). This free webinar is open to the public, but virtual seating is limited and reservations are required. To register and for details, please visit sdccu.com/fww.

 

Stickley will offer an inside look into various methods of cyber attacks that criminals use and detail how to reduce your risk by showing examples of real cases and tips to be aware of to avoid becoming victim. Given the current environment, he will specifically focus on current threats relating to coronavirus, including scam emails and phone calls from the IRS, phishing emails appearing to come from a co-worker, friend or family member, malicious COVID-19 mobile apps and more.

 

Stickley has stolen credit cards, hacked Social Security numbers, robbed banks, created fake ATMs, broken into armed government facilities and stolen from teenagers. Fortunately for all victims involved, Jim is a cyber security expert with over 20 years in the industry who was hired to perform these attacks by corporations testing their security and agencies interested in knowing just how easy it is to commit identity theft. His job is to find security flaws before the real criminals find them and help educate people as well as organizations about what they can do to protect themselves.

Today, Stickley is the CEO of Stickley on Security and can be seen throughout the United States speaking on topics that range from basic identity theft to national cyber terrorism. In addition, Stickley can be seen on numerous TV news programs, is a frequent guest on NBC's Today Show and is the security expert featured in Life Lock® infomercials.

How to Apply for a Cannabis License

As a reminder, over the last several months, the DCR Licensing Portal has been undergoing system updates to allow DCR to implement and streamline significant procedural and land-use amendments adopted by the City Council in July 2021.  Specifically, these amendments modified licensing procedures regarding the Pre-Application Review process and Temporary Approval Process.

To begin the application process to engage in one of the above-listed activities, applicants will first need to complete the Pre-Application Review Process. Once an Applicant completes the Pre-Application Review Process and the proposed business premises is determined to be eligible for further processing, an Applicant may apply for Temporary Approval. Both application processes must be completed online via the DCR Licensing Portal; click here to APPLY.

Please note that policy amendments made by the City Council necessitated changes to most forms, documents, bulletins, and other public resources maintained and utilized by DCR and DCR stakeholders.
 

As such, please use the following NEW resources to complete the Pre-Application Review process and to submit a Temporary Approval Application:

  • The LACMA booth will showcase the Obama Portraits Tour and Black American Portraits exhibitions opening November 7. Get an art kit with a portrait-making activity and art supplies (while supplies last). And take your picture in front of the portrait wall.

  • For a fun way to explore the route, CicLAvia partnered with Niantic for Pokemon Go and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite apps to discover special in-game locations around the Heart of LA route.

And we're working on a lot more... Take a look at the full list of activities we have in store so you don't miss a thing!

What To Know Before You Go

Deciding how to get to the route? Check out the details here.

To navigate the streets safely, make sure you read our Rules of the Route. Our events allow people-powered transportation: skates, bikes, skateboards, scooters, and your own feet. (Or you can visit a Hub on its own.) Motorized vehicles aren't allowed, except for participants with disabilities. Many types of e-bikes are allowed – learn more here.

You're sharing the road with others who may be walking or biking or taking a selfie, so be mindful and maintain a safe speed. And wear a helmet! (If you're under 18, it's the law.) At the Chinatown Hub, CHP will be giving out free helmets for anyone under 18, while supplies last. And our partners Spin at MacArthur Park and El Centro de Ayuda at Mariachi Plaza, will be giving away helmets as well – for all ages.

We're closely following LA County Public Health guidelines as we approach the event. We encourage everyone to bring a mask – whether to wear on the route or to be prepared for indoor places (public transit or restaurants & shops along the route) that require masking for everyone.

You can even get your free Covid-19 vaccination at CicLAvia! Just visit the free pop-up vaccine clinics at the MacArthur Park Hub and Mariachi Plaza Hub. No appointment needed.

And if you still have questions, feel free to send us an email.

Oct. 2 & 3: Women’s March + Remember Rosie Jiménez

October 2 and 3: Women’s March + Remember Rosie Jiménez
 
 
Two reproductive rights campaigns have staked out the first weekend in October for actions around the country to defend abortion rights.
 
Beginning in July, when the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would hear a Mississippi challenge to Roe vs. Wade, which secured the right to legal abortion, feminist organizations began planning coordinated actions for Sunday, October 3rd. On that day in 1977, Rosaura “Rosie” Jiménez died of an unsafe abortion in McAllen, Texas after the Hyde Amendment cut off abortion funding for people who received federally subsidized medical care.
 
Then in early September, after the high court declined to halt a Texas law outlawing abortions after six weeks, Women's March organizers in Washington, DC announced Saturday, October 2nd as a day of action.
 
“We see the two days of action as complementary,” says Miriam Padilla, a Radical Women member who is helping build a National Mobilization rally and march in Seattle. “What sets the October 3 mobilization apart are our strong demands for the full intersectional meaning of reproductive justice and our emphasis on honoring Rosie Jiménez and other women of color and marginalized people who are the most at risk of injury and death when abortion is not available.” The October 3 actions range from in-person rallies and marches to virtual film screenings and forums.
 
When she died, Jiménez was a 27-year-old Chicana college student and mother of a four-year-old daughter. She lived on less than $100 a month and was determined to finish school. Abortion was not covered by her Medicaid health coverage and she couldn’t afford to pay out-of-pocket. She was forced into an unsafe abortion by an untrained midwife and died of infection. She is the first known fatality as a result of the Hyde Amendment’s cutoff of funds.
 
Jiménez story is especially poignant in light of recent legislation in her home state of Texas that bans abortion after six weeks and rewards citizens who sue health providers and any who “aid” the person in obtaining an abortion. Texas’s law is currently the harshest in the country, but other states including Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, and Montana have passed similarly restrictive abortion laws.
 
At a recent rally in New York City, National Mobilization organizer Nga Bui addressed the uneven impact of bans on abortion: “Rosie’s story is not unique. It exposes how the system controls working-class and poor women, trans and non-binary folks. We need a mass movement to defend reproductive justice.”
 
The National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice was initiated by Radical Women and endorsed to date by two dozen groups and unions from across the country. Supporters call for: protecting and expanding Roe v. Wade — safe, legal abortion on demand without apology; repealing the Hyde Amendment; overturning state barriers to reproductive choices; stopping forced sterilization; preventing caged kids, forced assimilation, and child welfare abuses; ending medical and environmental racism — for universal healthcare; defending queer and trans families; guaranteeing medically sound sex education and affordable childcare; and upholding social progress with expanded voting rights and strong unions.
 
Actions for the October 3 National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice are happening in 11 cities. Endorsers hail from nine states, including five union locals and labor groups, three chapters of the National Organization for Women, a clinic defense group, several socialist organizations, Oregon Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, New Mexico Coalition for Reproductive Choice, and the Washington Poor People’s Campaign. For a full list of endorsers and a calendar of events, see www.ReproJusticeNow.org.

Opening night is Friday October 1st and following the red carpet, there will be a screening of the feature documentary “Carlos Almaraz, Playing with Fire” directed by Elsa Flores Almaraz and Richard Montoya. The film explores the life of Carlos Almaraz, a Chicano activist, sexual outlaw, and visionary painter of some of the most unforgettable images of Southern California.  A special mention will be made since the Highland Theater is directly across the street from the old Centro de Arte Popular that Carlos Almaraz co-founded and because it was recently approved by The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission to the city's list of Historic-Cultural Monuments as a location important to the Chicano Arts Movement.

 

Directly before the screening, HPIFF will present the 2021 HPIFF Humanitarian Award to Juan Escobedo.  A son of East Los Angeles, Juan uses film and photography to portray issues in society such as domestic violence, HIV prevention, and human trafficking. With the support of nonprofits in Boyle Heights, East LA and Watts, he creates films depicting characters and communities affected by these issues. Juan founded the East LA Society of Film & Arts (TELASOFA) in 2005, a nonprofit which heals children and their families through art and film. Three years later he also started the East LA Film Festival (ELAFF) where youth could showcase their films alongside Hollywood professionals. After 14 years, ELAFF has grown with the help of the East LA community screening films from Australia, Asia, Europe, Middle East, Mexico, USA and his beloved East LA. Juan directed the award-winning short film “Marisol”, based on a true story about a little girl from East LA who dreams of the perfect quinceañera dress until her life takes a drastic turn after an incident with domestic violence.  The film too the  “Arts and Culture Award” from the East LA Women’s Center, Hollywood Reel Independent Festival “Best Drama” and qualified for the Oscars in 2018.
