Tenants need a strong advocate on council, renters in LA cannot hang on 4 more years. CD1 and LA would benefit from her policy experience, dedication, and commitment to community.

I've known Eunisses to be as grounded, inspiring, and fearless of a leader as we can get, who pours her heart for her neighbors and speaks truth to power like no other.
Andres Kwon, Human Rights Lawyer and Community Organizer
I've been eagerly awaiting a candidate like Eunisses. This is a person who'll advocate for real improvements and city-wide transformation without leaving anyone behind.
Jessica Craven, Organizer, Environmental Activist, & Elected Delegate to the CA Democratic Party
We need more candidates like her if we want to see transformative changes from the inside, as organizers continue to push from the outside. A win for Eunisses is a win for all.
Dahlia Ferlito, OrganizerOur communities are suffering due to decades of bad policy and negligent city council leadership. The result is an unprecedented housing crisis, the nation’s largest jail population, and severely underfunded social services. The people of CD1 deserve better.
We envision a Los Angeles that invests in the needs of its people. Needs such as deeply affordable housing, structurally supported alternatives to incarceration, and expanded social protections that protect Angelenos from the violence of poverty. As a lifelong CD1 resident, she has made a successful career out of actively fighting for this vision in the name of her neighbors and loved ones. Eunisses has led campaigns, coalitions, and commissions that effectively put a check on politicians and transformed policies that were separating families while putting our youth behind bars. She has led major policy wins, such as Measure J and Care First, Jails Last, which have begun to drive hundreds of millions of dollars into expanding and creating access to community based services, housing, and support for young people in LA County.
LA City Council District 1 is socioeconomically and racially diverse, representing core parts of northeast and northwest Los Angeles. It includes Glassell Park, Highland Park, Chinatown, Mount Washington, Echo Park, Elysian Park, Westlake, Pico Union, Koreatown, Angelino Heights, Lincoln Heights, and MacArthur Park. The families, children, small businesses, and workers in Council District 1 deserve a representative who is committed to leading with community to ensure the district thrives.
