This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of how Los Angeles is governed. Having someone from our communities appointed on this city commission is essential to ensure our voices, needs, and lived experiences are reflected in the city’s foundational decisions.

The city is accepting applications for this Commission until Friday, June 13th 11:59 PM PST.
