Non-profit Housing Corp. SRO May Fail – LA City Must Act

by Los Angeles Community Action Network (LACAN) cangress.org Politico reported that SRO Housing is facing “severe financial distress” and could dissolve within a matter of months. SRO Housing is the largest nonprofit housing corporation in Los Angeles; they manage 33 buildings with about 2,600 units of affordable housing for formerly unhoused people, primarily in Skid Row.

Olympics 2028: Point/Counterpoint – NOlympics LA

Olympic Reform Efforts Are Setting Us Up for a Double Disaster by the NOlympicsLA Coalition https://nolympicsla.com/2025/11/11/fighting-the-forever-games/ The Olympics have always been sold as temporary — a two-week spectacle of worldwide unity and athletic exceptionalism that brings honor (and infrastructure) to its rotating host city. With LA28 now less than 1,000 days away, the myth of Olympic legacy is breaking down, with reform campaigns multiplying and officials scrambling to make word salad slide [...]

Please donate towards Benito’s burial expenses, housing costs for Reclaimers, and ongoing Reclaiming Our Homes campaigns.

Capitalism & Colonialism are the Disaster – Solidarity & Liberation are the Solution

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) https://antiracist.org/rebuilding-los-angeles/ The incineration of large parts of the Los Angeles area represents the extent to which settler colonial capitalism has sown the wind and reaped the whirlwind. It is the outcome of generations, centuries, of exploitation, land theft, genocide, privatization, gentrification, fossil fuel extraction and other social ills, economic crimes, and political malfeasance. In the wake of the massive and ongoing destruction, [...]

FOR LAWRENCE…

By Nia Asante It's been seven years since my first contribution to Change-Links: https://change-links.org/do-the-homeless-deserve-dignity/#iLightbox[gallery7472]/0 So how did that first article come to be? One day while homeless in Los Angeles, I decided to visit a local church on a Wednesday afternoon; suitcase in hand. A very large suitcase actually. I was told the church would help you if you are homeless. The security guard at the door of the church said, "Yeah, [...]

End the Cruel and Ineffective Criminalization of Unhoused People in Los Angeles

https://www.hrw.org/report/2024/08/14/you-have-move/cruel-and-ineffective-criminalization-unhoused-people-los-angeles Adequate housing is an internationally protected human right. But the United States, which has been treating housing primarily as a commodity, is failing to protect this right for large numbers of people, with houselessness a pervasive problem. In the US city of Los Angeles, California, where the monetary value of property has risen to extreme heights while wages at the lower end of the economic spectrum have stagnated for decades, houselessness [...]

Supreme Court Wields Law as a Weapon in Class War on the Poor

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-L.A. https://antiracist.org The latest decisions by the dominant far-right majority on the Supreme Court underscore the reality that "lawfare" is a form of class warfare, in which bourgeois illusions that the courts offer any protection for the rights of poor and working people or of nature only serve to disarm people's movements. The courts, particularly the US Supreme Court, are a manifestation of the undemocratic nature of the [...]

And They Call It Democracy..

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action-Los Angeles/People Against Racist Terror (ARA-LA/PART) The quadrennial spectacle called the US presidential election is well-underway, with the candidates of the two major capitalist parties blatantly fore-ordained, and vying for who has the worse disapproval ratings. To say the election is rigged is a bad, discredited joke, thanks to the fascist con-man who lost the popular vote twice and nevertheless became the 45th pResident of the US, and [...]
