Endorsements

LA City residents and LAUSD families and students deserve a redistricting process that prioritizes community representation—NOT political insiders. Every ten years, federal law requires the boundaries of city council districts and LAUSD board districts to be redrawn because of population shifts. This redistricting process influences which residents can run for office, and therefore who advocates for services in that district, decides how public dollars are spent, and what policies are put into place. 

Charter Amendments DD and LL will give important decision-making power to community members across LA City and LAUSD respectively and will completely take that power out of the hands of politicians. An independent redistricting commission is a proven, trusted, nonpartisan reform that has worked well in countless other California jurisdictions. It allows unbiased and impartial residents to draw district boundaries based on input from the public.

We need a system that gives the people the power of redistricting, not politicians. Vote YES on DD and LL this general election!
