From planting trees and restoring native habitats to expanding green spaces and conserving water, my administration is working to build cooler, healthier neighborhoods better prepared for climate change.

A greener Los Angeles is a healthier, more resilient Los Angeles. 🌱

A stronger downtown means more local businesses, more jobs, and a downtown that Angelenos actually want to spend time in.

When a storefront sits empty for years, it doesn't just affect one location, it impacts the entire block. That's why we're launching Vacant to Vibrant, connecting empty storefronts with people who can bring new life and new business to downtown.

We also honor the self-attestation of current mission-based Tribes confirming their connection to the ancestral lands on which we live and work today:

We are grateful for the opportunity to live and work on these ancestral lands.

This acknowledgment demonstrates our responsibility and commitment to truth, healing, and reconciliation — and to elevating the stories, culture, and community of the original inhabitants of the City of Los Angeles.

We acknowledge that settler colonization resulted in land seizure, disease, subjugation, slavery, relocation, broken promises, genocide, multigenerational trauma, and the disruption of cultural practices, trade, and tribal relations.

We honor and pay respect to their elders and descendants — past, present, and emerging — as they continue their stewardship of these lands and waters.

The City of Los Angeles recognizes that we occupy land originally and still inhabited and cared for by the Kizh, Tongva, Tataviam, and Chumash Peoples.

I’m proud to lead this effort as LA Metro Board Chair to ensure communities across Los Angeles continue to benefit from these opportunities in the years ahead.

These events connect communities, bring people together, support local businesses, and help us reimagine public spaces in the second-largest city in the country. These events are something to be proud of — and something we must protect.

The funding will support additional events through July 2028. As a lifelong biker and native Angeleno, I know how important open and slow streets events like CicLAvia are to our city and the L.A. region.

As LA Metro Board Chair, I led the Metro Board’s effort to approve $1 million in additional funding for Open and Slow Streets events, including events like CicLAvia, that open streets for people to walk, bike, and roll through communities across Los Angeles County.

I’ve spent my whole life fighting for the entertainment industry. It’s at the core of our economy, and I’m committed to ensuring that Los Angeles remains the entertainment capital of the world.

But our work isn’t finished. I’m pushing the State to create a “no-cap” tax credit to bring even more productions back to our region. I’m also working with our federal leaders to pass the first federal film incentive so Los Angeles can compete with other countries.

It’s bringing iconic films back to California, telling stories that are only possible right here in Los Angeles, and also creating good-paying union jobs for Angelenos.
