COUNCIL DISTRICT 15 REDISTRICTING COMMUNITY MEETING |
|
The Los Angeles City Council Redistricting Commission (LACCRC) invites you to a Council District 15 Community Public Hearing on Wednesday, August 18, 2021 at 6:00 PM.
Join us for an important meeting about “redistricting.” The purpose of redistricting is to redraw the maps that impact your community and to ensure you have the power to determine fair and inclusive representation in your council district.
And we need your help. Participating in the redistricting process can be just as important as voting. We need to hear from you to learn more about your community - its schools, its churches, its parks, and its people. Come learn and take action so that your neighborhood gets treated fairly and gets the resources it needs and deserves.
Please RSVP or call (213) 263-5765. Once you register you will receive a Zoom link that will allow you to join the public hearing online from your phone, computer, or other device. If you require translation services please let us know when you register. Please share this invitation with your neighbors, friends, and family. For more information about the City's redistricting process, visit laccrc2021.org.

ENSURING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MEETS THE NEEDS OF WOMEN |
|
Hoping to identify improvements that could better tailor transit systems to meet the needs of women, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation released a study on Friday, July 30, on mobility challenges women face, such as the need to take more complex trips, often accompanied by small children.
According to “Changing Lanes: A Gender Equity Transportation Study,” women are less likely to have a driver’s license and access to a vehicle than men. At the same time, they’re more likely to take trips that require multiple stops because they are often responsible for a larger share of household and childcare-related duties. They’re also more likely to be carrying strollers and shopping bags, as well as be accompanied by children.
The department also announced a pilot program to make DASH service more convenient and address safety concerns. The program will begin in August for Panorama City, Watts, Pico-Union and El Sereno routes, and people will be able to get off their bus anywhere along the route, instead of only at designated bus stops.

COVID-19 Vaccination Update |
|
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health continues to offer vaccines at many different sites across the County to make it as easy as possible for eligible residents to get vaccinated. This week, there are 772 sites offering vaccinations including pharmacies, clinics, community sites, and hospitals and 312 sites where mobile teams are offering vaccinations, which are concentrated in higher-need, harder hit areas. Many sites are open on weekends and have evening hours and vaccinations can be obtained at many sites without an appointment.
Public Health continues to improve access to COVID-19 vaccines with hundreds of community health workers providing local residents with information in multiple languages on available vaccination services in hard-hit communities and helping residents schedule appointments, arrange for transportation, and access additional support. Mobile vaccine teams continue bringing vaccinations into the neighborhood places where people gather. Currently, there are vaccination sites set up at retail stores, parks, recreation centers, and many other gathering places all over the county to make getting vaccinated more convenient.
If there is a special event, organization or workplace where people may need to get vaccinated, you can request a mobile vaccination unit to provide vaccines. Public Health encourages you to visit the Find a Vaccination Provider page to request a visit at your workplace, organization, or special event from a mobile vaccination unit or other vaccination partners in the community to provide vaccines.
