This week, I was proud to join in celebrating the 35th anniversary of LA’s BEST, a program that has supported over 350,000 students across Los Angeles. In communities like the Northeast San Fernando Valley, LA’s BEST has long provided a safe, enriching space for kids after school—offering academic help, creative outlets, and caring mentors. In recognition of this legacy, we proclaimed April 9th as LA’s BEST Day in the City of Los Angeles. Congratulations to the entire LA’s BEST family!

Today, I had the honor of celebrating the incredible legacy of Olivia E. Mitchell — a trailblazer, mentor, and tireless advocate for our city’s youth. For over 50 years, Olivia has dedicated her career to uplifting young Angelenos and shaping programs that continue to make a difference in our communities.
As a student at San Fernando High, she introduced me to civic engagement — a moment that changed the course of my life.

Her legacy lives on through the Olivia E. Mitchell Youth Council and in the lives of the thousands she’s inspired. Thank you, Olivia, for your unmatched service and mentorship.

Abandoned RVs create serious health and safety hazards in our neighborhoods, and I share the frustrations of residents who want them removed quickly. That’s why my team partnered with @lacitysan and @ladotofficial to clear an abandoned and burnt RV from the Pacoima community.

🚨 The faster we report these issues, the quicker we can take action and prevent further blight. Let’s keep our neighborhoods clean and safe—if you see an abandoned RV, report it to my district offices:

📍 Pacoima: (818) 485-0600
📍 Sylmar: (818) 756-8409
📍 Sunland-Tujunga: (818) 352-3287

Or email details to Councilmember.Rodriguez@lacity.org. Together, we can make a difference!

I’m proud to have joined the 32nd Annual Cesar Chavez Memorial March for Justice yesterday, right here in Pacoima. Cesar Chavez dedicated his life to fighting for the rights and dignity of farmworkers, proving that real change is possible when we stand together. ¡Sí se puede!

In honor of his legacy, our offices will be closed today and will resume regular business hours tomorrow.

What better way to close out Women’s History Month than by celebrating Doña Ana, Cynthia, and their family, whose dedication to serving our community goes beyond just a meal. Their authentic pozole, made with love desde Nayarit, has nourished so many.

I had the pleasure of touring their Pacoima location and sharing meaningful conversation over Cafecito de Olla. Watch until the end as Doña Ana shares some inspiring words for all the hardworking women out there!

Stop by to support not just a family-owned business, but most importantly, a women-owned business!

¡Qué mejor manera de cerrar el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer que celebrando a Doña Ana, Cynthia y su familia, cuya dedicación a servir a nuestra comunidad va más allá de una comida. Su auténtico pozole, hecho con amor desde Nayarit, ha nutrido a tantas personas!

Tuve el placer de recorrer su ubicación en Pacoima y compartir una conversación significativa con un delicioso cafecito de olla. ¡Miren hasta el final para escuchar las palabras inspiradoras de Doña Ana para todas las mujeres trabajadoras!

¡Pásenlo a apoyar, no solo a un negocio familiar, sino, más importante aún, a un negocio liderado por mujeres!

When I launched the CD 7 Youth Sidewalk Repair Program, my goal was to give young adults in our community the skills and resources to learn a trade, giving them job readiness while addressing a critical issue impacting our community. 🛠️ Now, just weeks later, our participants are completing the program, ready to make a positive impact in our community!

Creating opportunities and investing in our youth is key to building a stronger future. 👏
