Traci Park and Hydee Feldstein-Soto Stall Safe Streets Implementation
Los Angeles voters spoke loud and clear when they overwhelmingly passed Measure HLA, a landmark initiative mandating the city to integrate safe streets infrastructure, including bus lanes, bike lanes, and pedestrian improvements, into road projects.

Rising Inequality in Los Angeles After the Wildfires
Los Angeles is no stranger to disaster, but the city’s recovery from the recent wildfires is exposing deepening inequality. While some communities—especially wealthier enclaves like the Pacific Palisades—are pushing for swift rebuilding efforts, others are facing a slow, fragmented recovery marked by bureaucratic inefficiencies and financial barriers. The result is a widening gap between those […]
Traci Park thanks Trump for “supporting police” shortly after he pardons January 6th rioters
In a stunning display of political opportunism and hypocrisy, Los Angeles City Councilmember Traci Park recently thanked former President Donald Trump for his so-called “support” of law enforcement—just days after Trump issued pardons to every one of the 1,600 rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The “compassionate conservatism” of Traci Park
CD11 Councilmember Traci Park’s motion today to provide limited eviction protections for tenants is a hollow gesture that fails to address the real struggles renters face.

The city’s budget up in flames

[…]
Friendly reminder: Traci Park is a Republican, and she’s bringing Trump’s MAGA agenda to LA
Traci Park’s ties to LAPPL are a threat to police accountability in LA
City Councilmember Traci Park has positioned herself as a leader committed to public safety and community well-being. However, her close ties to the Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL)—the union representing over 8,000 rank-and-file LAPD officers—raise serious concerns about her ability to prioritize accountability and reform. During her 2022 campaign, Park accepted nearly half a […]
Traci Park failed to save the Westside’s only FamilySource Center
In a move that has left many Westside residents reeling, Los Angeles City Councilmember Traci Park allowed the closure of the only FamilySource Center (FSC) in the area, a vital resource for low-income families and individuals seeking support.
