Why this petition matters

Started by United Neighbors in Defense Against Displacement

We call on the City of Los Angeles' elected officials to prioritize public land for public good by committing to use the site of the former Bethune Library, a vacant, 34,000- square-foot city-owned parcel located at 3685 S. Vermont Avenue, for the development of affordable housing, as residents have continuously called for over the past decade. 

The UNIDAD Coalition and over 20 organizations from South Los Angeles have signed on to a public letter to elected officials stating our opposition to the development of a corporate hotel and highlighting the need for affordable housing in the neighborhood.

Hacemos un llamado a la Ciudad a priorizar las tierras públicas para el bien público al comprometerse a usar el sitio de la antigua Biblioteca Bethune, una parcela vacante de 34,000 pies cuadrados propiedad de la ciudad ubicada en 3685 S. Vermont Avenue, para el desarrollo de viviendas asequibles, como residentes hemos pedido continuamente durante la última década.

Porfavor lea la carta escrita por la coalición "UNIDAD" y por otras organizaciones del sur de Los Angeles en este enlace. Estamos en contra del desarrollo de un Hotel y destacamos la importancia de construir vivienda de bajo costo en el Sur de Los Angeles.
