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.

Is there an opportunity for affordable housing in the Palisades?
Venice first, Westchester next: Is Traci Park simply sweeping homelessness around her own district?
Since taking office, Los Angeles City Councilmember Traci Park has done little to actually address homelessness in her district. Instead of working toward real solutions like affordable housing, she’s relied almost exclusively on police sweeps to push unhoused people out of sight—particularly out of her own neighborhood of Venice.

Her failure to […]
Opposing bike lanes puts us all at risk
The debate over bike lanes in Los Angeles took a contentious turn last election season, when Councilmember Traci Park and the firefighters union voiced strong opposition to their expansion through Measure HLA.

Traci Park and the Environmental Injustice of the Palisades Fire
Natural disasters may strike indiscriminately, but their consequences are anything but equal. Time and again, the burden of recovery falls hardest on low-income communities, while the wealthy leverage their political power to shield themselves from harm. The LA fires have laid this reality bare, with one glaring example: the toxic debris from the Pacific Palisades […]
Traci Park’s Response to the Palisades Fires Is A Disaster for Democracy
The 2025 Pacific Palisades fires have left devastation in their wake, turning one of Los Angeles’ wealthiest enclaves into a smoldering landscape of loss. But while most leaders would respond to such a crisis with solutions that prioritize rebuilding and resilience, Councilmember Traci Park has instead seized the opportunity to double down on her authoritarian, […]
Traci Park’s Sanctuary City Stance: Misleading and Misaligned
Councilmember Traci Park’s recent remarks on Los Angeles’ sanctuary city designation reveal a troubling contradiction in her stance on city services and a misrepresentation of what sanctuary policies actually achieve. Her rhetoric, which echoes right-wing narratives, misconstrues the purpose and impact of sanctuary policies while sidestepping her own role in the very budget issues she […]
