Lights for a legend.

Official account for the 43rd Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass.
- This weekend we saw too many people packing beaches, trails and parks. So we are closing sports and recreation at @LACityParks and closing parking at city beaches. That doesn’t mean gather elsewhere. This is serious. Stay home and save lives.
- This is footage from today in MacArthur Park. Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through. The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.
00:00 - It’s official: our City Council has voted to rename Rodeo Road to Obama Boulevard! We’re thrilled that Angelenos and visitors will forever be reminded of the legacy of President @BarackObama when traveling across L.A.
- Today I authorized the City to disconnect utility service at a house in the Hollywood Hills to stop the large parties held there in flagrant violation of our public health orders. Parties like these can quickly and easily spread the virus and put our communities at risk.
- Let me be clear — chasing people through a Home Depot parking lot does not make Los Angeles safer.
- Let me be clear: ANYONE who vandalized Downtown or looted stores does not care about our immigrant communities. You will be held accountable.
- During the Closing Ceremony, the first woman Mayor of Paris will pass the Olympic flag to the first woman Mayor of Los Angeles. In that moment, I hope we’ll be showing girls across the world that they can run for gold, and they can also run for office. Tonight, we make history.
00:00 - The responsibility for George Floyd’s death rests solely with the police officers involved. Chief Moore regrets the words he chose this evening and has clarified them.
- A message for all Angelenos: Here in Los Angeles, we will not be coordinating with ICE. Your city is on your side, we are in this together → Mayor.LA/z6b930p7ij5
00:00 - Let this sink in: I signed an Executive Directive today to help our city protect itself from the federal government.
- It wasn’t a drug den — it was a Home Depot. Don’t be fooled — Trump’s orders aren’t about safety, they are designed to attack our city and cause chaos.
00:00 - I want to thank LAPD and local law enforcement for their work tonight. I also want to thank @GovernorNewsom for his support. Just to be clear, the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles.
- Thank you @Dodgers for bringing home the #WorldSeries victory. Lighting the night in blue to honor our champs. #LATogether
