“Thank you so much, Council Member Rahman, for this really inspiring presentation. You know, it's always great to see all the amazing work happening across the city, but I did want to, you know, talk a little about Food Access LA, our honoree in CD13.

“Mabuhay! Mabuhay! Well, thank you so much, Councilwoman Jurado, for this beautiful presentation. As a lot of folks know, I am very proud to represent Historic Filipino Town. And it's been one of my most favorite neighborhoods to get to know the organizations, the people, the food, the culture.

“Councilmember Blumenfeld, everyone. Always keeping it light and fresh. First of all, congratulations to Liberty Hill for 50 years of incredible work. Please give them a round of applause.

“Thank you so much, Mr. President. I just want to let folks know that I voted no on this item in committee because I have some serious concerns that have not been answered about these fusion centers. Fusion centers, which are federal sites designated to increase collaboration between law enforcement agencies, including LAPD, could be used by the federal government to carry out their fascist agenda. I want to thank Councilmember Onisa Hernandez for asking follow-up questions in the Budget and Finance Committee, which revealed more of the unanswered questions. In committee, when the department…”
