This past Wednesday, we had the privilege of coming together to celebrate five incredible changemakers at the City of Justice Awards Dinner. We were honored to recognize Ada F. Briceño , Susan Minato , and Kurt Petersen , Co-Presidents of UNITE HERE Local 11; Jackie Goldberg , LAUSD Board President; and Laurie Traktman , Partner and Shareholder, Gilbert & Sackman.
Each of this year's honorees is a champion of justice and a relentless advocate for change. Their work embodies the spirit of good trouble , and we are deeply grateful for the positive impact they have made in our communities.
As we heard during last week’s program, LA City Council is poised to vote on an Olympic Wage this week! This is a historic opportunity for the city to ensure airport and hotel workers are healthy and housed and can afford to live in the city where they work, especially as LA prepares to host the 2028 Olympics.
We invite you to support in two ways: 1) Email [[link removed]] your City Councilmember to let them know you stand with tourism workers, and 2) Join in solidarity with fasting airport and hotel workers as they take on a 3-day fast Monday Dec 9th - Wednesday Dec 11th RSVP here [[link removed]] for more information.
On behalf of the entire LAANE team, thank you to our incredible community of supporters for making this work possible. We invite you to continue making good trouble with us—the kind of trouble that inspires hope, drives progress, and brings change.
