CALIFORNIA CITIZENS REDISTRICTING COMMISSION ...

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2021 -- LOS ANGELES, CA -- During the late evening hours of Monday, December 20, 2021, the Commission voted to approve the final Congressional, Senate, and Assembly maps, which can be viewed here. This marks one of the last steps of the redistricting process as the Commission is required to post these maps for 3 days before they will be final. By law, maps need to be certified by December 27, 2021, so they are unlikely to change. Once finalized, these maps will play a major role in the future of our communities and California politics for the next decade.

JOINT STATEMENT OF SAN GABRIEL VALLEY LEADERS ...

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2021 -- LOS ANGELES, CA -- A coalition of Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community leaders and organizations are joining together to raise concerns over California Citizens Redistricting Commission’s draft maps of the San Gabriel Valley (SGV). The draft maps split West San Gabriel Valley cities (WSGV) and East San Gabriel Valley (ESGV) cities with significant AAPI populations into multiple congressional districts. In these drafted commission maps, the AAPI community would face an uphill battle to elect a representative from their own community and reverse four decades of progress by community coalitions and partnerships.

Little Tokyo watched out for the neighborhood (Downtown Los Angeles News)

As businesses partially reopen and the vaccine rollout mounts under the new presidential administration, community leaders around Los Angeles are reflecting on their efforts to provide pandemic relief and support around the city.

In Little Tokyo, the conclusion of a few landmark projects has shown the power of those efforts to maintain the neighborhood spirit that binds workers, residents, businesses and institutions through these isolating times.

Two Little Tokyo leaders in particular, Nancy Yap and James Choi, spearheaded the successful Community Feeding Community Program, which provides meals to in-need hospitality and service workers.
