COVID-19 has been relentless but, so are we! Today, in partnership with Byte, we were able to help provide Face Shields to first responders at Pacifica Hospital and Northeast Valley Health Corporation. PPE’s are hard to come by, it’s important that we become resourceful and take the initiative to help each other out. That’s why I want to give a big shout out to Byte because they are a doctor-driven leader, providing customers access to at-home invisible aligners that deliver professional results in half the time and cost of traditional methods. They are using their 3D printers to make and assemble face shields to help first responders fight during this crisis. Thank you Jose Hernandez and the team at Byte for your leadership and generosity!

Today is #DenimDay. I have taken the pledge to support survivors and raise awareness of sexual and domestic violence. This campaign started following the Italian Supreme Court overturning a rape conviction because they felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans, that meant she must have helped the person who raped her remove her jeans which means it was consensual.
If you are a victim or know someone who is a victim, please know that you are not alone and there are resources available. For a list of resources in the Los Angeles area, you can visit: http://nodvla.org/what-is-domestic-violence/rape-sexual-assault/

Since the Safer at Home Orders were enacted, we’ve seen long lines and a great need for meal programs and food delivery across Los Angeles. Our community has come together on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19 and I’m proud of the partnerships I’ve built with our food pantries in the 7th Council District to serve our families. If you need food assistance, please visit any one of these food pantries, free of charge.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the LAFD has issued new brush clearance timelines for property owners located within the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). The annual Brush Clearance Season has been pushed back from April 30, 2020, to June 1, 2020.
Though the inspection deadline has been moved back to June 1, keep in mind that brush clearance is a year-round responsibility. Clear early and clear often. Our district has seen frequent and significant wildfires in the past couple of years, including the La Tuna, Creek, and Saddleridge fires. The safety of your home during wildfire season can be significantly increased with proper brush clearance, advanced planning, and preparation. For more information, including current clearance requirements and helpful compliance videos by the LAFD Brush Clearance Unit, please go to www.lafd.org.
