Yesterday, I had the honor of designating the intersection of Dronfield Ave. and Osborne St. in Pacoima as “The North Valley Broncos Square.” The Pacoima Little League Field is located at that intersection and is where the North Valley Broncos, the first all-black baseball team to reach the Little League World Series, practiced.

Two individuals from the historic North Valley Broncos team of 1965 were in attendance—Rickie Chapron and Anthony Davis—and they both spoke about the racism they faced on and off the ball field. Rickie and Anthony are living proof that you would be making a huge mistake if you count out anyone from making it big here in the Northeast San Fernando Valley!

This week for #BlackHistoryMonth, we recognize NFL Running Back Charles White.

White attended San Fernando High School participating in track and field and football. During a California State Meet, Charles White won the 330 yard low hurdles, beating future Olympic gold medalist Andre Phillips.

After graduating, Charles White attended USC playing football, eventually winning the Heisman Trophy and other awards for being an outstanding player.

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 which effectively suspended the civil liberties of Japanese Americans in the United States and led to their illegal incarceration.

On this #DayofRemembrance, The San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center (SFVJACC) in #AD43 remains committed to educating the community on the fragility of civil liberties in times of crisis and the importance of remaining vigilant in protecting the rights and freedoms of all.

Congratulations to Social Justice Humanitas Academy on their successful book launch and resource fair!

I was honored to join the book launch and celebrate the stories written by the 9th-grade students from Social Justice Humanitas Academy in #AD43. Writing a book is a powerful way to get in touch with your values and passions, and I appreciate the students strong commitment to this writing project.

Thank you to Tia Chucha’s Centro Cultural & Bookstore for hosting this book launch event to commemorate this grand celebration!

Since becoming the first Latina to Chair of the City’s Public Safety Committee, I have made it my priority to innovate and deploy programs that heed the calls for reform and create a safer Los Angeles.

It’s why yesterday we unveiled Project TURN (Therapeutic Unarmed Response for Neighborhoods), a public safety initiative that will provide much-needed training and support to community intervention workers who are regularly exposed to high trauma environments.

Providing them comprehensive training and support is an important tenet of how our City will deliver transformative change, strengthen our public safety response, and create more equitable investment in a community based public safety model.

Occidental College, my alma mater, kindly published a profile piece on me. I can’t begin to express how much it means to me as the daughter of Mexican immigrants, whose family’s simple dream was to find opportunities for a better quality of life.

I have the incredible privilege and honor of serving as a member of the Los Angeles City Council, representing the district I’ve called home my entire life. I take that responsibility seriously and with tremendous pride. From fighting to combat homelessness to bringing more infrastructure dollars to Council District 7, day in and day out I’m working, along with my incredible team, to deliver for you.

When I look back at my time at Occidental College, I reflect fondly on the experiences and friends I made, and the lessons I learned from the sacrifices and struggle. I’m thankful for my parents, my teachers, friends and community that helped raise and support me through it all, and for seeing more in me than at times I saw in myself. I see that same potential in our city and our community.
