VOTE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4th!
Yes on Prop 50: Election Rigging Response Act
California has a duty to defend democracy. To do that, we can’t unilaterally disarm or fight with both hands tied behind our backs. When Trump tries to rig elections, we must fight back with every legal tool available.
This measure draws fair maps that represent California’s diverse communities and ensure our voices aren’t silenced by Republican gerrymandering in other states.
Reproductive care, healthcare, workplace protections, education, and voting are on the line!

Statement from Heart of LA Democratic Club on ICE Raids and Federal Deployment in Los Angeles
What we are witnessing right now in Los Angeles is a grave violation of human dignity and a direct assault on the values our communities hold dear. The recent ICE raids—targeting schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods—are nothing short of state-sponsored terror. Families are being torn apart. Children are being traumatized. And entire communities are living in fear.
We are outraged—by the images of children in handcuffs, by the violence inflicted on peaceful people, by the blatant disregard for human life and dignity. These actions are inhumane, unjust, and unacceptable. The deployment of the National Guard and federal agents has only escalated the trauma and fear, turning our neighborhoods into war zones rather than safe homes.
What is also troubling is the federal government’s persistent lies about what is happening here in Los Angeles. This administration falsely portrays our communities as dangerous and lawless, using these misleading claims to justify its brutal tactics and the unnecessary militarization of our streets. This is not about safety—it is about intimidation and control.
Los Angeles is a place of immigrants, workers, resilience, and hope. We stand united with our immigrant neighbors, friends, and families. We reject these false narratives and the violence inflicted in their name. We see the truth—and we will speak it loudly.
The Heart of LA Democratic Club stands in unwavering solidarity with all those being targeted. We are feminists. We are fighters. We believe in justice, dignity, equality, and the fundamental right of every person to live without fear.
To our community: please stay safe, stay peaceful, and stay connected. Do not give those in power the excuse they are seeking to escalate this violence. Our resistance must be grounded in care, courage, and unity.
We also urge everyone to know your rights. The ACLU offers vital resources to protect immigrant communities and protesters—available in multiple languages.
Visit: Please share these widely and empower those around you. If you need physical red cards or access to translated materials, we will help connect you.
This moment is painful and frightening—but it is not hopeless. Resilience is in our DNA. We understand how to fight. We will continue to organize. We will continue to protect one another. We will continue to fight for the soul of Los Angeles and our country—because they belong to all of us.
In solidarity,

Heart of LA
Founded in March 2017, the Heart of L.A.

The mission of the Heart of L.A.

Abortion in the United States:
Dobb's, Roe v. Wade, and What You Can Do Now
The Conservative right-wing Supreme Court's Dobbs decision that struck down Roe v Wade, denying abortion healthcare to millions of American women. Now nearly half of the states have some type of abortion bans. This has increased the burden on people, especially those with low incomes and from marginalized communities, to carry unwanted pregnancies to term.
