City Hall Se Esta Quemando! w/ Ivette Alé-Ferlito

Amigues! I’m sure you’ve been keeping up with the dumpster fire at city hall, so we shifted our plans to bring you this timely episode. This week, we’re joined by Ivette Alé-Ferlito, the co-founder of La Defensa - an organization focused on the intersectional feminist approach to dismantling of oppressive systems. They believe in the importance of investment in community power that thrives on promoting health, wellness, love of their communities, transformative justice, and community accountability. Ivette breaks down some of the work they’re doing and provides some resources for you going into this year’s midterm elections. We're also bringing you a little more context around the scandal surrounding LA's city council members.   To learn more about La Defensa, visit ladefensa.org   Follow @ladefensx to see their voter guide and get access to all of the recommendations you need to vote in this election in LA County!   Get involved!
