Yesterday, thousands of LAUSD students held a walkout at City Hall to protest the federal government's immigration raids.

Their message was clear—ICE out of our schools, ICE out of our city, ICE out of everywhere.

In a time when the federal government is actively removing Black monuments and inflicting state-sponsored terror on everyone in our community, we must remember to resist, not give an inch, and fight back.

Crenshaw Connected is a declaration that in Los Angeles, every resident deserves equal access to the tools of the 21st century. Today, we launched the first free WiFi program in the City on Crenshaw Boulevard.

This is more than infrastructure—it is digital justice.

Today, we celebrate Mexican Independence Day during a challenging time in the U.S.

From our Madrina, @cd1losangeles, to President Claudia Sheinbaum, who became the first woman to lead Mexico’s 215th annual celebration, let this year’s El Grito remind us that when we fight back, we win.

We mourn the loss of Jewel Thais-Williams, a pioneering force in the Black LGBTQ+ community. In 1973, she opened Jewel’s Catch One, the first large-scale Black-owned LGBTQ nightclub in the United States. ‘The Catch’ became a cultural haven in Los Angeles for over 40 years.
