We urge you to adopt the Resolution and support any legislation or administrative action that would prioritize distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine for essential waterfront workers.” December 17, 2020 The Honorable Nury Martinez, Council President Los Angeles City Council 200 North Spring Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 Re: Council File #21-0002-S17 Dear Madam President Martinez, We write on behalf of International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), Locals 13, 63, and 94 to express our support for the Resolution to support any legislation or administrative action that would prioritize distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine for essential waterfront workers. ILWU Locals 13, 63, and 94 represent the 9,260 longshoremen, marine clerks, and foremen who keep critically needed cargo flowing through the Port of Los Angeles. Our members have kept the Port the busiest container port in the Western Hemisphere for the past 20 years. At the beginning of the present pandemic, ILWU members were deemed Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers by federal, state, county, and city directives. Unlike many, essential waterfront workers are unable to work remotely. As such, they have donned their personal protective equipment (PPE), sanitized their equipment, socially distanced, and continued to work on the docks and around-the-clock to ensure cargo remains flowing. It is thanks to ILWU members that store shelves have remained stocked and medical professionals in each of the country’s 435 congressional districts have much needed PPE.

  • L.A. Opens Applications to Grants for Artists a Ected by COVID-19
    L.A. Opens Applications to Grants for Artists Aected by COVID-19 By City News Service Published August 14, 2020 Los Angeles began oering artists in the city the chance to apply for one-time grant of $500 to $1,500 today if they can demonstrate that they’ve been adversely aected by the coronavirus. The grants are available until Sept. 1 or until the rst 600 applicants have been approved. The citywide COVID-19 Emergency Response Program for Individual Artists, administered by the Department of Cultural Aairs, is the rst COVID- 19 relief fund specically for individual artists. ADVERTISEMENT “Local artists and arts nonprots are the creative heart of Los Angeles,” Councilman David Ryu said. “The work of writers, musicians, painters and all artists help make Los Angeles the vibrant and dynamic city we love.” To qualify, artists must demonstrate nancial need and detrimental eects caused by COVID-19, such as an inability to pay rent or bills. Funds are available to artists of all kinds, including DJs, writers, visual artists and more, Ryu said. Artists can apply for the grants at culturela.org/grants-and- calls/citywide-covid-19-emergency-response- program-for-individual-artists/ . The $340,000 fund was created after Ryu introduced a motion seeking to repurpose his council district’s Arts Development Fee fund, money that comes to each council district from commercial developments that can be used to support arts projects, facilities and arts education programs that are free or low-cost and accessible to the public. Councilmen Gil Cedillo, Bob Blumeneld, Paul Koretz, Marqueece Harris- Dawson, Herb Wesson and Joe Buscaino added their Arts Development Fee fund dollars as well.

    March 16, 2020 Councilmember David Ryu Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson Councilmember Curren Price Councilmember Herb Wesson Los Angeles City Hall 200 N. Spring Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 Re: Request for Motion and Unanimous Passage for Neighborhood Council Funding Rollover to Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Dear Councilmembers Ryu, Harris-Dawson, Price and Wesson, We truly are witnessing one of the most sweeping crisis of our time. I am asking for your assistance on an immediate basis with a neighborhood council matter. Many neighborhood councils, including the one I preside over, have cancelled meetings and events in co-operation with our City’s COVID-19 containment strategies. I am deeply concerned over how this change in the rules of engagement will impact funding initiatives in the respective communities and the ability to return to business as usual seamlessly. What can be done to ensure that this interruption isn’t disruptive to future neighborhood council endeavors? One answer is to allow NC’s to rollover all of the fiscal year 2019- 2020 funding to the following fiscal year. This will afford us the opportunity to continue to produce meaningful community events and award neighborhood purpose grants that may not come to fruition. Because we cannot conduct business as usual so close to the end of our fiscal year, my request is simply that one, or all of you, file a motion that orders the City Clerk to allow all 99 neighborhood councils to roll over all unspent 2019-2020 fiscal year funds into fiscal year 2020-2021. Second, I am requesting that City Council pass this motion unanimously and immediately.

  • Economic Development
    ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MOTION Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, grocery workers in the City of Los Angeles have continued to report to work and serve their communities, despite the ongoing hazards and danger of being exposed to the novel coronavirus. Because of the work of these essential grocery workers, families throughout the City have had access to the food they need during this pandemic. However, the pandemic is far from over and with increased case rates, the health threats that grocery workers face are even greater now than when this crisis began. These essential grocery workers cannot choose to work from home - they must come in to work to do their jobs, which involves substantial interaction with customers. Workers are wearing masks, social distancing, and constantly wiping down cash registers, food conveyor belts and shopping carts in order to protect the public health. Additionally, these workers are continuously working to restock items that households desperately need like toilet paper, cleaning supplies and other essentials. These workers are staying inside with large crowds every day under ventilation systems that could be spreading the novel coronavirus. This puts these essential grocery workers in a position where they must live with the daily fear of not only contracting the virus but also bringing it home to their families. The number of COVID-19 clusters within the grocery industry in the City of Los Angeles continues to rise significantly. The health threat that these grocery workers face cannot be overstated - recent studies before the current surge report grocery workers to be 5 times more likely to test positive.
