(Now it's our turn!)
The new Los Angeles City Charter passed by the voters could change the nature of our neighborhood government. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a duty to take up the challenge of grassroots organizing to improve our neighborhood--under new rules that open the door to true local democracy. It's back to the future--to our fundamental democratic roots. We have an almost revolutionary opening to develop a strong, inclusive, representative organization to make our dreams and needs known throughout city government. To develop a shared vision and a compelling voice to guide the enhancement of our neighborhood in the coming decades. To return responsibility for neighborhood well being to caring neighborhood doers, leaders, thinkers, movers and shakers ...and to you! Is this the beginning of a revolutionary change in city government? Attend! Make it happen!!! The era of suffering aloof, ineffective city government is about to end. Be there! To quote George Richter: "The important work is to form caring relationships of good-hearted people who attend to their vested interests while looking to their common good. Along that path lies improvement and convergence."
