Mayor Karen Bass

For decades, Los Angeles struggled with a growing backlog of broken streetlights, made worse by copper wire theft. We couldn't keep relying on the same solutions that weren't working.

That's why I launched an initiative to repair or replace up to 60,000 streetlights, including new solar-powered technology that is less vulnerable to theft.

At the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Exposition Park, I spent time reflecting on Norman Rockwell’s The Problem We All Live With.

Seeing this powerful piece of history on display in the city I call home was deeply moving. It was a reminder of how far we’ve come, the sacrifices that made that progress possible, and how much work remains.

When you call 911, every second counts. Today, I signed a new Executive Directive to strengthen and modernize L.A.'s 911 emergency response system.

Today, nearly 300 Angelenos joined our Job and Career Fair with employers, job opportunities, and career resources in Boyle Heights. Every Angeleno deserves a fair shot at a good job and a better future for their family.

If you’re struggling to pay your LADWP bill, there are programs available that can help lower your costs and make monthly payments more manageable. I’ve also called for a pause on utility shutoffs while we work urgently to bring additional relief to Angelenos. We’ll have more to share soon.

Los Angeles continues to demonstrate its strength as a global economic leader. I’m proud that the Port of Los Angeles made history by moving more than 1 million containers in September, its busiest month ever.

This achievement is a testament to the hardworking men and women of the ILWU who keep our port moving, support good-paying union jobs, and connect Los Angeles to the world.

Los Angeles is a city where culture, tradition, and entrepreneurship come together. I was proud to join Carlos Naranjo and his family to celebrate the grand opening of Botines Charros in the San Fernando Valley.

We're making it easier to build in Los Angeles. Through my Executive Directive 19, we're cutting red tape, reducing delays, and lowering costs to move housing and commercial projects faster.

I joined Rick Caruso in Pacific Palisades to highlight our progress. His partnership has helped accelerate rebuilding in the Palisades, and his private-sector experience is helping inform solutions that benefit the entire city.

Los Angeles wouldn’t be the city it is today without generations of Filipino Americans who have helped shape its history, culture, and communities.

and honor the life and legacy of Florante Peter Ibañez, a pioneering educator and community organizer who dedicated his life to preserving Filipino American history and uplifting others.
