Neighborhood Councils play an important part in LA Government. Which is why, even if you have emailed your City Council Member, called in during meetings, and supported BLM-LA, it’s important to also put pressure on your Neighborhood Council. At the time of launching this website, only Los Feliz had submitted anything to the City Council in favor of the People’s Budget. That’s 1 out of 99 Neighborhood Councils!

Based on how many folks are out protesting, calling in, and demanding for an end to police brutality, does that sound right? If not, you can begin by emailing your Neighborhood Council to make sure they let City Hall know that your neighborhood supports the People’s Budget.

If you’re not sure which is your Neighborhood Council, you can find all your info here.

Dear members of the Arleta neighborhood council,

[*** PUT SOMETHING UNIQUE HERE SO YOU DON'T GET MARKED AS SPAM ***]. The City of LA is about to slash funding for the things that help our community thrive. If we don’t act immediately to fund education, healthcare, and public transportation, the compounded effect of the pandemic and social inequities threaten to do irreparable harm to our neighborhood. That is why, as a stakeholder in our neighborhood, I am writing to ask you to support and uplift the People’s Budget LA for the 2020-2021 fiscal year and advise the City Council accordingly.

Our budget reflects our values. Our neighborhood needs to invest in pandemic recovery, childcare, education, healthy food, public transportation, and environmentally minded infrastructure, not more militarized police. The People's Budget LA would allocate appropriate funding to these vital services that uplift our entire community. In contrast, the Mayor's budget, even with its proposed cuts and reapportionments, gives more than half of unrestricted funds to the LAPD. This is unacceptable: Those funds must be used for priorities that strengthen our community, not further entrenchment of a failed model of law enforcement. Those funds must be used to fund the things that strengthen our community.

I hope you will actively support the People’s Budget LA and the vital work of Black Lives Matters - LA and the coalition of groups who work to uplift ALL of our community. I am asking the Neighborhood Council to submit a Community Impact Statement opposing the proposed budget (Council File 20-0600), and asking LA to adopt the People’s Budget on July 1.

Thank you for your time,

Dear members of the Central Alameda neighborhood council,

[*** PUT SOMETHING UNIQUE HERE SO YOU DON'T GET MARKED AS SPAM ***]. The City of LA is about to slash funding for the things that help our community thrive. If we don’t act immediately to fund education, healthcare, and public transportation, the compounded effect of the pandemic and social inequities threaten to do irreparable harm to our neighborhood. That is why, as a stakeholder in our neighborhood, I am writing to ask you to support and uplift the People’s Budget LA for the 2020-2021 fiscal year and advise the City Council accordingly.

Our budget reflects our values. Our neighborhood needs to invest in pandemic recovery, childcare, education, healthy food, public transportation, and environmentally minded infrastructure, not more militarized police. The People's Budget LA would allocate appropriate funding to these vital services that uplift our entire community. In contrast, the Mayor's budget, even with its proposed cuts and reapportionments, gives more than half of unrestricted funds to the LAPD. This is unacceptable: Those funds must be used for priorities that strengthen our community, not further entrenchment of a failed model of law enforcement. Those funds must be used to fund the things that strengthen our community.

I hope you will actively support the People’s Budget LA and the vital work of Black Lives Matters - LA and the coalition of groups who work to uplift ALL of our community. I am asking the Neighborhood Council to submit a Community Impact Statement opposing the proposed budget (Council File 20-0600), and asking LA to adopt the People’s Budget on July 1.

Thank you for your time,

This is unacceptable: Those funds must be used for priorities that strengthen our community, not further entrenchment of a failed model of law enforcement. Those funds must be used to fund the things that strengthen our community.

I hope you will actively support the People’s Budget LA and the vital work of Black Lives Matters - LA and the coalition of groups who work to uplift ALL of our community. I am asking the Neighborhood Council to submit a Community Impact Statement opposing the proposed budget (Council File 20-0600), and asking LA to adopt the People’s Budget on July 1.

Dear members of the Eagle Rock neighborhood council, [*** PUT SOMETHING UNIQUE HERE SO YOU DON'T GET MARKED AS SPAM ***]. The City of LA is about to slash funding for the things that help our community thrive. If we don’t act immediately to fund education, healthcare, and public transportation, the compounded effect of the pandemic and social inequities threaten to do irreparable harm to our neighborhood. That is why, as a stakeholder in our neighborhood, I am writing to ask you to support and uplift the People’s Budget LA for the 2020-2021 fiscal year and advise the City Council accordingly.

Dear members of the Empowerment Congress West neighborhood council,

[*** PUT SOMETHING UNIQUE HERE SO YOU DON'T GET MARKED AS SPAM ***]. The City of LA is about to slash funding for the things that help our community thrive. If we don’t act immediately to fund education, healthcare, and public transportation, the compounded effect of the pandemic and social inequities threaten to do irreparable harm to our neighborhood. That is why, as a stakeholder in our neighborhood, I am writing to ask you to support and uplift the People’s Budget LA for the 2020-2021 fiscal year and advise the City Council accordingly.

Our budget reflects our values. Our neighborhood needs to invest in pandemic recovery, childcare, education, healthy food, public transportation, and environmentally minded infrastructure, not more militarized police. The People's Budget LA would allocate appropriate funding to these vital services that uplift our entire community. In contrast, the Mayor's budget, even with its proposed cuts and reapportionments, gives more than half of unrestricted funds to the LAPD. This is unacceptable: Those funds must be used for priorities that strengthen our community, not further entrenchment of a failed model of law enforcement. Those funds must be used to fund the things that strengthen our community.

I hope you will actively support the People’s Budget LA and the vital work of Black Lives Matters - LA and the coalition of groups who work to uplift ALL of our community. I am asking the Neighborhood Council to submit a Community Impact Statement opposing the proposed budget (Council File 20-0600), and asking LA to adopt the People’s Budget on July 1.

Thank you for your time,

Dear members of the Greater Toluca Lake neighborhood council, [*** PUT SOMETHING UNIQUE HERE SO YOU DON'T GET MARKED AS SPAM ***]. The City of LA is about to slash funding for the things that help our community thrive. If we don’t act immediately to fund education, healthcare, and public transportation, the compounded effect of the pandemic and social inequities threaten to do irreparable harm to our neighborhood. That is why, as a stakeholder in our neighborhood, I am writing to ask you to support and uplift the People’s Budget LA for the 2020-2021 fiscal year and advise the City Council accordingly. Our budget reflects our values. Our neighborhood needs to invest in pandemic recovery, childcare, education, healthy food, public transportation, and environmentally minded infrastructure, not more militarized police. The People's Budget LA would allocate appropriate funding to these vital services that uplift our entire community. In contrast, the Mayor's budget, even with its proposed cuts and reapportionments, gives more than half of unrestricted funds to the LAPD. This is unacceptable: Those funds must be used for priorities that strengthen our community, not further entrenchment of a failed model of law enforcement. Those funds must be used to fund the things that strengthen our community. I hope you will actively support the People’s Budget LA and the vital work of Black Lives Matters - LA and the coalition of groups who work to uplift ALL of our community. I am asking the Neighborhood Council to submit a Community Impact Statement opposing the proposed budget (Council File 20-0600), and asking LA to adopt the People’s Budget on July 1.
