A thread of some Los Angeles based actions in the time of COVID-19. City council can't figure out how to run a zoom meeting, fortunately, the folks in this thread are more advanced than that.
First a shoutout to @MutualaidLA & @GroundGameLA https://twitter.com/AshleyNicholeB/status/1245881184862621697?s=20
I called in to the LA city council meeting on March 27 to let them know that they are misleading the public about the eviction moratorium and that they are hanging the public out to dry. https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1243628263378808832
A successful initial car protest outside of Mayor Garcetti's house on March 31, letting @MayorOfLA know that the "eviction moratorium" does not truly protect tenants in this city. https://twitter.com/_PublicComment_/status/1245065062710042624?s=20
Reuters did a video on the @LATenantsUnion organized car protest, featuring @jacobwooch https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1245616959506370563?s=20
. @LAmag ran a piece about the originality of the car protests and the message behind it https://twitter.com/disc0nap/status/1244719814859321344?s=20
Since the City did not protect tenants before April and allowed landlords to collect rent, we had to let the @MayorOfLA how we felt. https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1245358219980988417?s=20
No wages, no rent, no sleep for elected officials until we get a true moratorium. https://twitter.com/jacobwooch/status/1245367976108277761?s=20
. @latimes did a story on the protest led by @LATenantsUnion @NOlympicsLA @ccedLA and the demands of the protest

Members of city council are not exempt from hearing from their constituents, so we expressed to @MitchOFarrell how we felt about his NO vote on an eviction ban. (also MOF's spouse may or may not have called one of these organizer's father afterwards). https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1246281947631906817?s=20
Members of @LATenantsUnion didn't let @PaulKrekorian's NO vote go unnoticed. https://twitter.com/widernetfishing/status/1246447084435202050?s=20
And of course, we wouldn't let the Landlord-in-Chief herself, @CD6Nury, slide. The best part of this action? Nury's neighbors all came out and supported the protestors. They must REALLY like her. https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1246985165135433729?s=20
The people are asking for help but @CD6Nury doesn't seem to care. https://twitter.com/nicole_d14/status/1246974277938642944?s=20
. @NBCLA came out to film the protest and @kmay accurately portrayed the concerns of many people in this city. https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1247044826165465088?s=20
Here are some videos of constituents, who are upset that @LACityCouncil can't figure out how to run a damn zoom meeting.

. @YouthJusticeLA organized protest today outside ICE facility in downtown Los Angeles https://twitter.com/YouthJusticeLA/status/1247605903622201344?s=20
The people aren’t just going to stop fighting and stop voicing their concerns. They want us to shut down and go away. They don’t want us to hold them accountable.

The will of the people is going to be stronger during these times, @CD6Nury. We aren’t going anywhere. https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1248285054985326594
We stopped by to see the LA City Councilmember who is under investigation by the FBI. You should resign because of this embarrassment, @CD12LA. https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1248982106086076418
And another Los Angeles City Councilmember who voted NO on an eviction ban. We aren’t going anywhere @BobBlumenfield.

When’s the next meeting, @CD6Nury? https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1248997201772032000
We are 14 days into April and we still don't have a true eviction moratorium. The #PeoplesCityCouncil isn't going anywhere and we won't stand down.

It's up to the elected officials in Los Angeles to listen to the people. https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1250245066821521408?s=20
These actions will continue with a very public invitation for this Sunday!

Live in LA and upset with your elected officials? Join us. #PeoplesCityCouncil https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1250286143154749440
17 days into April and we still don't have an eviction ban. Landlords are still attempting to collecting rent. And there are still open hotel rooms while people are out on the street. https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1251205889534554112?s=20
As you can see from this thread, @MayorOfLA, the people aren’t going anywhere. We are only going to get more people behind us and get louder at each action.

It’s your choice for what’s next. https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1252031928259112962
Mayor Garcetti sent his LAPD goons to silence two dissenting women. They disrupted what was an otherwise peaceful protest and tried to bully organizers into keeping quiet. Not going to happen, folks! https://twitter.com/ricci_sergienko/status/1252034541746675712
