As Los Angeles braces for another powerful storm, Councilmember Traci Park issued a public safety warning, urging residents to prepare for heavy rainfall, potential flooding, and mudslides, particularly in burn-scarred areas like the Pacific Palisades.

City Council Committee Sides with Developers, Moves Forward with Reckless Olympics Exemptions
Despite overwhelming public opposition, the Los Angeles City Council’s Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee has advanced a dangerous motion that would exempt Olympics-related projects from standard city planning approval, zoning regulations, and environmental review.

For Traci Park, the Palisades Fire is the PR Gift that Keeps On Giving
A recent “article” in City Watch by Deegan on LA attempts to paint Traci Park as a bold, independent leader standing up for her constituents in Pacific Palisades. But scratch beneath the surface, and this is little more than a glorified puff piece designed to prop up a failing councilmember who has actually made her […]

Traci Park Is Shirking Responsibility for Palisades Fire
Councilmember Traci Park is quick to point fingers, but when it comes to taking responsibility for the issues in her own district, she falls short.

Traci Park Is Going Full MAGA, Bashing Social Services in Right-Wing Media
Councilmember Traci Park is at it again—talking a big game about public safety while making decisions that do the exact opposite. Recently, she took to the right-wing New York Post to complain about how LA’s budget is being handled. But let’s be real—Park’s track record makes it clear she’s not actually interested in fixing anything, […]
Traci Park’s Business-First Agenda: Tax Relief for Corporations, Neglect for Renters and Immigrants
Councilmember Traci Park is leading the passage of a business tax relief program aimed at aiding businesses affected by wildfires.

On February 6, students from Venice High School joined a city-wide walkout to protest President Trump’s cruel immigration policies, as well as to advocate for reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and democracy itself.

Traci Park is Undermining Public Safety by Siding Against Immigrant Communities on the Westside
Los Angeles City Councilmember Traci Park has positioned herself as a staunch advocate for “public safety,” but when it comes to protecting some of the most vulnerable residents of Council District 11—immigrant families—she is nowhere to be found. Her refusal to support sanctuary policies and her failure to push back against the impending federal crackdown […]
