This past Tuesday, November 14th, dozens of people gathered outside the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce building outside of downtown Los Angeles, holding candles, signs, and flags for Palestine.

The rally, organized by Unión del Barrio alongside the Raza Educators Los Angeles, featured statements from teachers and students alike as well as from other supporters calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

EPISODE 99 – KAREN BASS, COMMUNITY COALITION, SOUTH LOS ANGELES AND THE FUTURE

J.T.1 Comment

For our 99th episode, L.A. Times reporter Benjamin Oreskes (@boreskes) sits down to chat with us about Karen Bass’ upbringing through South Los Angeles as described by his profile of the congresswoman recently. We touch on Bass’ early years in Los Angeles, including when as a teenager she wrote letters in support of Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign, her various trips to Cuba to learn about healthcare and education systems there, her fight against the crack epidemic in South L.A. during the 1990s, and what else we can expect to learn from the L.A. Times about her and Rick Caruso four months before November 2022. Find Bass’ letter to the Times following their coverage of the crack cocaine epidemic’s impact on the Black community HERE.
