If Council does not act to create an independent redistricting commission, California Common Cause will begin mobilizing to put an independent redistricting commission on the ballot. Whether change comes from Council or from the voters, Angelenos will have the equitable redistricting and representation they deserve.

California Common Cause unequivocally condemns the recently leaked anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, racist, and homophobic comments made behind closed doors by Los Angeles City leaders Nury Martinez, Gil Cedillo, Kevin de León, and LA Labor Federation President Ron Herrera.

“Californians deserve to know the big monied special interests behind legislation that impacts our everyday lives,” said Jonathan Mehta Stein, Executive Director of California Common Cause.

“Our democracy belongs to the people, not the highest bidder,” said Jonathan Mehta Stein, Executive Director of California Common Cause.

“Californians need to know that their politicians are working for them – not special interests,” said Jonathan Mehta Stein, California Common Cause’s Executive Director.
