Lilan Bowden Instagram – LET’S GO HUGO!! 🎉🎉🎉 @tessparas and I felt all that COMMUNITY POWER Fri night hosting a gathering for Hugo Soto-Martinez for CD-13!! Thanks to all the wonderful people who came!! In Los Angeles, we have 15 City Councilpeople who make decisions for 4 million of us. Recently the chair of the City Council stepped down for her racist comments against multiple cultural groups of constituents and conspiring to gerrymander districts with other city councilpeople. It is clear our City Council needs new leaders to STOP THIS CORRUPTION funded by our tax dollars. Hugo is exactly the kind of person we need!! Hugo comes from a community and labor organizing background. He got his start by successfully organizing the workers at a hotel with no union to become unionized and protect themselves from being exploited. He has effective and real solutions for homelessness in the city (60% of homelessness begins when people can’t afford rent in this city), and he doesn’t take outside corporate money like many current city council people now. Imagine a world where our elected officials aren’t trying to line their own pockets but are FROM the community so have the COMMUNITY’s Interests in mind. We can have this world and it will take time but electing Hugo is a great start. I am proud to be backing Hugo and I wish more candidates in office could be like him. Hollywood, Atwater, Koreatown, Silverlake, and Echo Park, Hugo Soto-Martinez may be on your ballot!! Look for him and vote Hugo before or on Nov 8th!! #hugoforcd13 #lavotes #lavoterguide2022
