Small businesses, street vendors, and workers are the backbone of Angeleno culture. But a thriving economy takes more than investment – it takes trust, connection, and a shared commitment to creating neighborhoods where everyone wants to live, work, and visit.

I’m inviting our local entrepreneurs, creators, and community leaders to attend the 2026 Hustle & Heart Entrepreneur Summit on Monday, September 28th.

Because building stronger local economies starts with investing in the people and places that make it possible.

Check out www.hustleheartcollective.com to learn more, register for the summit, and see how we’re creating more opportunities for small businesses.

In response to the LAFD’s announcement that it has concluded its investigation into the June 17 Lineage Cold Storage Fire, Councilmember Ysabel Jurado today issued the following statement:

“Determining what caused the Lineage fire matters — not only for accountability, but to help ensure a disaster like this does not happen again. But LAFD’s finding that the cause remains undetermined does nothing to alleviate what Boyle Heights residents have endured and are still carrying: months of health concerns and disruption, along with unanswered questions about whether this site can safely operate again. The fact that we still cannot explain how this catastrophe began is yet another reason I will continue opposing any permits to rebuild this facility. Boyle Heights should not be asked to accept a rebuilt operation while residents continue to bear the consequences and fundamental safety questions remain unresolved. This community deserves recovery, accountability and meaningful safeguards—not a rush to rebuild.”

Generations of working-class communities of color have been forced to shoulder the consequences of industrial pollution, inequitable infrastructure and climate-related disasters.

The Lineage warehouse fire in Boyle Heights made that injustice impossible to ignore.

Tomorrow, the Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department will provide an important update to the Committee on Boyle Heights Fire Recovery regarding my motion that lays the groundwork for LA’s first dedicated Environmental Justice and Advocacy Advisory Commission. This community-centered body would be a platform for those who have carried Los Angeles’ industrial burdens to engage residents citywide, support sustained environmental justice education, promote equitable access to sustainability benefits, and advise the Mayor and City Council on policy.

If we are serious about environmental justice, decisions cannot simply be made for communities or above them. They must be made with them.

Years of suffering must end here.

Boyle Heights did not cause the crisis from the Lineage warehouse fire and should not be left to carry the burden of recovery. Our communities deserve relief, answers, and lasting protections that ensure that this does not happen again.

Tomorrow, the City Council will consider my motions to pause rebuild permits while stronger protections are considered, strengthen enforcement through increased fees of up to $1 million per fine, create a dedicated relief fund of up to $10 million for financial assistance including utilities support, and invest $940,000 in direct casework services.

I’m also introducing a motion to review the oversight of solar-panel safety systems, including rapid-shutoff and de-energizing protocols. This asks whether the standards in place when the warehouse caught fire adequately protect workers, first responders, and surrounding communities—and what needs to change if they don’t.

Boyle Heights will not be left behind, and we’ll keep working until it gets the recovery it deserves.

Downtown Spoke Up. We Acted. Metro Listened.

After months of concerns from residents, small businesses, theater and cultural stakeholders, transit advocates and community organizations, Metro is not moving forward with the contested bus-lane configuration through Historic Broadway.

Our office pushed for a better approach because Broadway is not a one-size-fits-all street. It is a historic theater district, a business corridor, a filming and event destination, and a neighborhood that depends on workable pedestrian, loading and accessibility infrastructure.

This is a win for the community - and it is also the start of the next phase. I’m committed to identifying funding for the sidewalks, lighting, ADA access, public safety, loading and public-realm improvements Broadway still needs.

You spoke up. We listened. Now we move Broadway forward.

Biddy Mason won her freedom from slavery through the LA court system, became one of the city’s earliest Black landowners, helped found First African Methodist Episcopal Church, and used her success to care for people in need and lift up the community that would become one of the world’s most vibrant corridors. As Pershing Square enters a new chapter, one of Downtown’s most visible civic spaces should more fully reflect the people who built this city.

I’m thankful to First AME Church for their support and partnership to establish this space as Biddy Mason Park. It’s through your continued work to uplift our communities that we can fulfill this initiative with the honor it deserves – moving forward with the people who live, honor, and feel the impacts of Biddy Mason’s work every day.

Councilmember Ysabel Jurado today issued a statement responding to the the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s announcement that bulk food waste removal is complete at the Lineage Warehouse in Boyle Heights:

“A public-health deadline should mean something. The City gave Lineage 45 days to remove the biohazard food waste; today is day 60 on the City’s timeline.

AQMD has now verified bulk removal, but that is overdue progress—not a completed cleanup—and it does not erase two months of odors, pests, and disruption. Lineage now has seven days to remove debris, power-wash, and disinfect Freezer 1. The City’s 90- and 120-day deadlines still stand.

We will keep pressing for independent verification, consequences, and the relief and accountability needed to make Boyle Heights whole.”
