Mobilizing the Eastside: InnerCity Struggle hosts a voter carnival
Vive, vota y lucha. That was the slogan at the center of InnerCity Struggle’s campaign to mobilize Eastside voters in the upcoming elections with door-to-door registration, online guides and fun engagement events like Wednesday’s Lucha Carnival.
Latinos are almost half of the general population of Los Angeles. Getting Latinos to participate on Nov. 8 is critical to ensuring that communities like Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles have their voices heard, according to Kimberly Ortega, a spokesperson for the local nonprofit.
“Time and time again we have seen how important Latinos are when it comes to bringing change to our city,” Ortega said at the event, held at the organization’s Boyle Heights headquarters. “It’s important for everyone in the community to be informed on who and what is on the ballot so that we can increase our collective impact.”
According to Spectrum News, InnerCity Struggle is one of several LA nonprofits who received funding for voter outreach as part of the Latino Community Foundation’s “Yo voy a votar” initiative.
Going beyond typical voter engagement, the night’s carnival featured games, entertainment and prizes, all centered around propositions and measures on this year’s ballot that could have an impact on the Eastside.

Extienden protecciones para inquilinos de las áreas no incorporadas de Los Ángeles
La junta de supervisores del condado votó a favor de extender varias protecciones para los inquilinos antes de que venza la moratoria de desalojos el próximo 31 de diciembre. Entre las mociones aprobadas está que se prohíbe los desalojos de aquellos inquilinos que no deban un mes completo de renta. Asimismo, se brindará representación legal gratuita para quienes enfrentan procesos de desalojo.
Claves de la extensión de protecciones contra desalojos en Los Ángeles que debes conocer
LOS ÁNGELES, California.- Las protecciones contra desalojos debido a la pandemia de covid-19 terminan el 1 de octubre. Ante el riesgo de que cientos de personas queden en la calle en los próximos días, la Junta de Supervisores de Los Ángeles dio a conocer nuevas protecciones.
Las nuevas alternativas aprobadas buscan que inquilinos de bajos recursos no pierdan las viviendas que rentan.
La primera moción expande el programa del condado Stay Housed L.A.
Una plataforma que brinda información, asesoría y recursos disponibles para inquilinos y dueños de propiedades sobre los derechos y protecciones que tienen en la jurisdicción.
La segunda moción, prohíbe los desalojos
La protección es para aquellos inquilinos que deban el monto inferior a un mes del valor justo de mercado en las áreas de L.A., Long Beach y Glendale.
“Actualmente, los propietarios pueden presentar una demanda para desalojar a los inquilinos por falta de pago de incluso por una fracción del alquiler de un mes”, según el comunicado de la junta.
¿Dónde se aplicará la protección de desalojos modificada?
La segunda moción, solo se aplica a áreas no incorporadas del condado de L.A., limita los aumentos de rentas en unidades de alquiler controlado al 3% anual hasta diciembre de 2023.
Terminan las protecciones: ¿En riesgo de un tsunami de desalojos en Los Ángeles?
Al menos 69,144 personas viven en las calles de Los Ángeles, según el conteo de indigentes sin hogar del área metropolitana del condado en 2022.
LA County Board of Supervisors meetings reopen to public for first time since early days of pandemic
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors held its first in-person board meeting in 2 1/2 years on Tuesday, only to be barraged with demonstrators inside and outside the hearing room.
Protestors gathered on the front steps of the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration, many of them focused on eviction protections for tenants in the county.
Earlier this month, the supervisors voted to end its eviction moratorium at the end of the year, but were considering a motion that would bolster eviction defense services for tenants. Another measure would limit what landlords can ask potential renters about their pandemic renting history.
"Tenants in LA County need stronger protections because it's really hard for a lot of our tenants to stay in their homes when we have landlords harassing them," Elizabeth Hernandez, a housing advocate, told the board members.
