Koreatown Redistricting Petition
KYCC in partnership with a diverse coalition of Koreatown stakeholders are engaged in the redistricting process for the LA City Council Districts. Currently, Koreatown is represented by four council districts (CD 1, 4, 10, and 13) instead of one. Four separate elected officials representing one neighborhood leads to areas of the community, particularly low-income areas, being neglected. In Koreatown, this dilutes the voices of the minority communities.
It is the time for the community to speak out and raise our voices again to help draw the lines to make Koreatown into a whole, unified City District. Sign our petition to unify Koreatown into a Single LA City Council District! https://www.change.org/UnifyKoreatown
For more information on redistricting and to participate in the public hearings, please visit LACCRC 2021 – Los Angeles City Council Redistricting Commission 2021 – City of Los Angeles.

Did you know
The #1 user of KYCC bandwidth is your Chrome browser.
Over the years, many of us have gotten into the habit of having multiple tabs open, sometimes as many as 20 of them.
Since Chrome doesn’t want to disappoint you, it refreshes your open tabs whether you’re looking or not.
That means Chrome could be continually refreshing over 1,000 webpages and their ads at any given time.
That takes bandwidth away from Zoom, Outlook and every other resource we rely upon.
Please close tabs you don’t need open and use your phone for non-work web activity.
Now you know!
Rigor and Rigid
Speed bumps
We’re either going or we’re not going. We get to make that decision every day.
Perhaps you’ve decided: We’re going.
That detour we hit, the pothole we narrowly avoided, the interruption that was unexpected–we experienced them, and we decided that we’re still going.
Onward.
Speed bumps are real. They’re a warning and we take caution or we hit them and they hurt. Speed bumps cannot be denied.
A speed bump that stops us from going is an obstacle.
Often, the only difference between a speed bump and an obstacle is our decision about which one it is.
Onward.
