The Los Angeles City Council Redistricting Commission (LACCRC) will host special meetings over a two-day or more process where Commissioners will publicly draw draft council district maps. Commissioners will also be reviewing draft district maps submitted by the public, which along with public testimony and other sources of data such as the Census redistricting data and the American Community Survey will help inform the Commission as it draws maps that are fair and inclusive.
“Keep communities together” was repeatedly expressed by residents during the last two public hearings hosted by the Los Angeles City Council Redistricting Commission.
The comments were delivered at the latest public hearing that the commission hosted as part of the redistricting process, which requires that the boundaries of council districts be redrawn following each census and that each district be approximately equal in size.
More African Americans are needed to participate in the public hearings conducted by the Los Angeles City Council Redistricting Commission, especially if the Black community desires to retain a degree of power in the city.

The most important process that determines the political power of our community is happening right now. For the past few weeks, the Los Angeles City Council Redistricting Commission has been taking public comment from communities across the city of LA to determine how city council district lines will be redrawn.
Redistricting will bring changes to South Los Angeles, an area where many African Americans reside, and the adjustment could affect the collective power of the Black community.
