Take Action! Oppose the 50% Cuts In Graffiti Abatement!

The Los Angeles City Council will vote on Wednesday, January 12 whether to slash the City’s graffiti abatement budget by up to 50 percent to ease the current budget woes. The proposal comes from a recommendation from the City’s Council’s Budget and Finance Committee.

Yes, we are in a budget crisis, but we’re going to be in an even bigger crisis if we cut graffiti removal efforts, which have actually been effective, despite incessant graffiti citywide.And with the state cutting local redevelopment agencies like the CRA this year, we’re gonna gave to depend more on ourselves to keep our neighborhoods safe, clean and prosperous.

If you live in the City of Los Angeles, visit the City’s website and please call or email your City Councilmember and tell them to oppose the graffiti abatement budget cut at their meeting tomorrow!
