Traci Park Opposes LA’s Sanctuary Status—Will She Back New Immigrant Protections or Side with Trump?
Los Angeles City Councilmember Traci Park has made it clear that she does not support the city’s sanctuary status, raising concerns about whether she will back additional measures to protect immigrant communities from the latest threats of mass deportations under President Donald Trump. While the Los Angeles City Council took a bold stand last year […]
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. Case in point: the empty Santa Ynez Reservoir that could have helped put out the Palisades Fire but was bone dry when firefighters needed it most. Instead of owning up […]
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. While supporting local businesses in times of crisis is certainly important, Park’s swift action in passing this measure stands in stark contrast to her reluctance—or outright opposition—when it comes to providing relief for renters, immigrants, […]
Councilmember Traci Park’s Deafening Silence After Violence Against Student Protester
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. The demonstration was organized via social media and, like many student-led protests, was intended to be peaceful. But instead of being met with […]
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 […]
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. The message was clear: Angelenos want safer, multimodal streets that prioritize people over cars. Yet, despite this landslide victory, Councilmember […]
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. Among those pardoned were individuals who […]
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. Park has positioned herself as a champion of renters with this motion allowing tenants to take in guests and pets, but her legislative history and rhetoric tell a far […]
