LA's Congress of Neighborhoods is a great example of how hyperlocal democracy can create incredible intra-city coalitions -- and Alex Levy's and @publicdemocracyla.bsky.social's work shows how deliberative democracy fits into and builds on those coalitions.
Angelenos, attend if you can!

I called Katy's office this morning to ask for all three!
If you have time today, we advise also calling the offices of the members of City Council's Rules Committee to tell them which reforms you want on the November ballot (*especially* Council expansion, RCV, and LAPD accountability!)

If you are mad about how broken LA feels, confused why no one seems to be in charge, and brokenhearted that I lost my election to an anti-housing MAGA funded incumbent, let me direct your energy toward the LA City Charter, which is going through a big rewrite. 🧵cc @fairrepla.bsky.social
