  • Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti Briefing | FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 2020
    Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti Briefing | FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 2020 MAYOR GARCETTI: Good evening, Los Angeles, and thank you again for joining me. We’ve now been staying safer at home for four full weeks. And there is no question that we need to keep staying at home. And I want to thank you for the lives you have saved and the lives that you have connected during this crisis with each other. There is no question that this has been a rough ride for everybody and this was a tough week. We buried more dead this week than we have in any other week during this crisis. And we diagnosed nearly 3,000 more Angelenos just this week alone. MAYOR GARCETTI: But in the midst of tears and facing the tragedy that we have, you have stepped up. You have been incredible first responders. You have shown the heart of this city and you have shown the guts of Los Angeles. You have shown LA love, and for that I am so grateful. There is a lot of news out there that people are starting to fray, and I know that it has been tough on a lot of people. But I want to be clear that while those stories can be found, that is not what we are seeing. 99.9 percent of Angelenos are doing the right thing. Even across this nation, I believe people want to save lives. That this is not about politics or partisanship, this is about people and this is about perseverance. Keep showing you courage.

    Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti Briefing | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2020 MAYOR GARCETTI: Thank you for joining us here at city hall. We’re in a new month, and usually this would be a day of fun and practical jokes. But we know that this has been no joke, and that this will be a very tough month in our cities and our nation’s history. I've always promised to tell it to you straight here each night, and I thank you for letting me spend some time with you and your family, to be able to share the data and the actions that are important to you and to our lives in the coming days. MAYOR GARCETTI: We all know this challenge that we face is unlike any that we have ever faced before. But I want you to know that every single day, my confidence that we will get through this together grows and grows. When I see the acts that people are performing out there in the city, when I hear the way that people are coming together, and when I see the discipline with which people are living their lives, difficult but necessary actions to save lives and to protect our city. MAYOR GARCETTI: Through the good days and the bad, I want you to know I will always be right here with you, leading an amazing cadre of public employees who are out there with frontline workers and volunteers who are risking themselves to protect all of us. And right now you can be part of that team doing your part, saving lives in your family, your neighborhood, your workplace, by making sure there are no exceptions to the rules.

    Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti Briefing | THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 2020 MAYOR GARCETTI: Good evening, Los Angeles, and thank you again for joining us. Tonight it’s a pleasure to be joined by a longtime friend, and an amazing Angeleno, Michele Siqueiros, who is the president of the Campaign for College Opportunity. In a few moments, we’re going to discuss actions too, that we’re taking to help the class of 2020, that I know is facing this crisis in a different way than any of their predecessors in looking at their future, and assessing how they can have a great future. MAYOR GARCETTI: The crisis has taken its toll on all of us. It’s a crisis that hurts every single day. But we must not lose sights, excuse me, of the signs of hope. We see them all around us. We can feel them each day. And I know that as anxious as we are each and every night to get out, and during the daytime to do more, I want to thank you again for everything you are doing to keep people safe, to keep people healthy and to save lives. I saw the spirit of hope in this city this morning when I went to the All Peoples Community Center in South Los Angeles. It’s an institution that served Angelenos for nearly 80 years. It's an amazing place. It’s one of our city’s family source centers, but it has a clear mission: to empower individuals and promote respect and self-determination for all.
