A Message from Council Member Blumenfield

A Message from Council Member Blumenfield

As we mark the two year anniversary of the first COVID-19 Los Angeles Safer at Home order, I’d like to reflect on the incredible resilience in our community as well as the unbearable heartache that many families have faced. In March 2020 we experienced unprecedented restrictions, and the closure of schools and businesses. We upended our lives to reduce risks as hospitals became overrun. And two years later, I’m still in awe of our doctors, nurses, and hospital staff who saved lives in our community. 

I’ll never forget the first cases at Providence Tarzana, advice from the doctors and nurses, and how we mobilized my Emergency Preparedness Community Action Team (BobCAT) to get PPE to local hospitals and senior homes. As your Councilmember, I tried to help with everything I could, including distributing tens of thousands of masks and setting up testing sites in Warner Center at Anthem and at Pierce College (which later administered 80,000 vaccines). The City Council took many steps to help businesses survive and keep people housed, including our $50M small business grant program, broad renter protections, and cutting red tape to help local restaurants. I will continue to examine the City’s COVID-19 policies to determine which should be continued and which can be relaxed.

Dear neighborhood council supporters:

 

On behalf of the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, I share our recognition of Cesar Estrada Chavez for his selfless dedication to the working poor in the United States. Cesar Chavez Day is an American national commemorative holiday celebrating the birth and enduring legacy of this American civil rights and labor movement activist on March 31st. Additionally, the day is commemorated to promote service to the community in honor of Cesar Chavez’s life and work. City offices will be closed on Monday March 28th in recognition of his legacy.

 

We will soon be releasing new programs to support neighborhood council leaders in their board service. There will be updates to the parliamentary procedures portal for neighborhood councils and an NC Core Institute workshop on managing public comment. Also, a presentation is scheduled for the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners on the updates to the grievance ordinance process.

 

Our most important task will be preparing neighborhood councils to return to in-person meetings. The Department will share information on that process regularly, so please provide time on your agendas for updates from the Department. The new agenda template suggests having an agenda item for Department updates separate from the government updates.

 

Neighborhood councils embody the example Cesar E. Chavez set for us all. Thank you for your dedication to the communities you serve.

 

“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community… Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and our own.” — Cesar Chavez

 

Sincerely,

Raquel Beltran
