These children, their parents, and our volunteers have been showing up month after month, leading by example and showing CD9 Councilmember Curren Price Jr. what a real community looks like. Our message has been simple from day one: we don’t need photo ops, need permanent solutions. We need cameras. Last Saturday, we spent hours cleaning the entire Flower Street corridor behind 61st Street Elementary. Then on Monday, Curren Price showed up with his crew and LAPD to pick up two boxes of trash and posted a video as if they cleaned the entire area. He even claimed they’ve been out here every day for the past three months. Price, stop lying to yourself, fam. You might be able to convince yourself, but you can’t fool God. You can’t fool me. And you certainly can’t fool the children, parents, community members, and volunteers who have been out here consistently doing the work. We’ve been here for months cleaning this school, filling bags of trash, pressure washing, and leading by example while asking for one thing: install the cameras. Instead of sending your entire crew out after we do the work just to create a social media moment, meet us halfway. Stop waiting for me to announce our cleanup dates so your team can show up a few days later and pretend the problem is solved. Enough with the excuses and “we’re working on something.” Stop wasting resources on photo opportunities and invest in a permanent solution that protects these kids and this community. Do your job. Install the cameras!!#community #losangeles #volunteer #environment #cleanup

Accountability matters. I’m calling out Councilmember Curren D. Price Jr. and CD9 for taking credit for work they did not do. This past Saturday, the kids from 61st street elementary school, our volunteers, parents, and community members spent hours cleaning the entire back side of 61st Street Elementary along Flower Street, just like we’ve been doing month after month since last November. We put in the work. We show up consistently. We don’t do it for recognition; we do it for the children and this community. Then, days later, a video is posted showing a team picking up a couple of boxes of trash, giving the impression they cleaned the entire area. That’s simply not what happened. What’s even more frustrating is the claim that this area is maintained daily. If that were true, our volunteers wouldn’t have to keep returning every month to remove illegal dumping, bulky items, and debris. For months, we’ve been asking for one thing that would make a lasting difference: security cameras. We’ve cleaned. We’ve documented the problem. We’ve worked with parents and neighbors. We’ve done our part. Instead of waiting for our cleanup dates and showing up afterward for a photo opportunity, meet us halfway. Help install the cameras. Invest in a long-term solution that protects the students, parents, and the entire community. The credit belongs to the kids, the volunteers, the parents, and every community member who has been out here doing the work, #community #losangeles #volunteer #environment #cleanup not to those who only show up after it’s already been done.

It was such a pleasure speaking with Candidate for CD9 Martha Sánchez. She’s been such a stalwart in the organizing community, as the former President of ACCE and former board member of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). ACORN helped advocate for housing, school lunches, and conducted voter drives. It also formed the Working Families Party in New York. The organization was eventually defunded by Democrats and had to file for bankruptcy. I volunteered for the Working Families Party around that time. The WFP unfortunately doesn’t do the work ACORN did, but I’d love to see that one day and extended an invitation to the leadership when I came to a meeting to work on that. Our political work should be intertwined with grassroots organizing because that is how we really change policies and elect people who come from the community. I am so glad to see the Martha is running as an independent and that she continues to embody the values of community organizing in her platform and campaign.
