There's a lot happening on the national political stage that can make it hard to keep up with what's happening locally. Don't worry, we have you covered! Last week, we all learned about a plan for the biggest governance reform package LA County has seen in over a century. This is huge news that could have major impacts for all Angelenos. Join us for a teach-in on Monday, July 15 to learn more.  LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath will join us and answer our questions. (That's not all, we also have teach-ins on social housing and the history of the housing injustice and the housing justice movement in LA, plus a San Fernando Valley mixer.)

County Supervisors Horvath and Hahn announced a proposal last week to make major changes to the County Governent, including increasing the number of County Supervisors from five to nine. Currently, there are 2 million people per district, which means each supervisor represents a population greater than many states. The proposal also would make County CEO an elected position, establish an independent ethics commission, creates a process for regular charter review, and much more.

While this isn't the first attempt to increase the number of supervisor seats, it is the first time a proposal is being pushed through at lightning speed. The first vote about placing it on the ballot was yesterday. There will be need two more votes the County Supervisors before August 9 -- likely on July 30 and August 6.

Join us on Monday, July 15 to learn more about the proposed ballot measure and how it would affect all of Los Angeles County. We'll be joined by Supervisor Horvath herself! RSVP here.
