Culver City News
ENDORSEMENTS: Fisch and Puza for Culver City Council
Culver City is changing, and for the better. Gone are the days when cranks like Steve Rose had a stranglehold on business and civic affairs, and the city tried to maintain a veneer of the sheer whiteness of decades past. The city is rich in diversity and is now more regularly electing diverse leaders. Its city council is taking a progressive tack in encouraging a lot of affordable housing development, making the city friendlier and safer for cyclists and pedestrians, adopting a rent control system, beginning to reimagine policing, ending dangerous oil drilling, and even working toward a policy on reparations for African Americans. Engaged students are fighting for their right to vote in city and school board elections, and have put the issue to voters this year.
Culver City: Vote Yes on Measures BL and VY
Local ballot measures are often of great importance to how residents of a city experience their lives there, and Measures BL and VY on Culver City’s November 8 ballot certainly fit that bill. We encourage Culver City voters to support both measures.
An Interview with 28th Senate District Candidate Lola Smallwood-Cuevas
The newly drawn 28th State Senate District is an open seat due to State Senator Sydney Kamlager’s run for a Congressional seat that shares much of the same area -- which includes Culver City, Ladera Heights, Mar Vista, Palms, over to South Central L.A. and West Adams.
EDITORIAL: We Applaud Culver City’s March Toward Reparations
To say that White Americans have a lot to answer for is the understatement of the last several centuries. But some cities, including Culver City, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood (and San Luis Obispo), are looking for ways to better understand their racist pasts and pay some kind of restitution to African Americans. City leaders have willingly accepted the encouragement they have received to give their Black residents a boost after centuries of racist policies which have done everything from holding them back to taking their lives.
