Los Angeles - Not even Paramount’s announcement of the return of horror icon Freddy Krueger from the popular Nightmare on Elm Street film franchise could eclipse the news that unions and over a dozen states are suing to block the studio’s monster of a merger with Warner Bros. this week. On July 13, California led a coalition of states to court to stop what they consider a disastrous move for workers in the entertainment industry and consumers. They were joined a day later by the Writers Guild of America West and the Writers Guild of America East, alleging the merger violates federal antitrust law and would cause specific harm to writers.

In a World Cup-fueled union win, concessions workers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles have won the right to walk off the job, should ICE pose a threat to their safety. The stadium’s 2,000 cooks, bartenders, dishwashers, servers, and attendants had a major piece of leverage this summer: eight scheduled World Cup matches. Their victory came days after a 96 percent vote to authorize a strike. Their next contract will expire at the end of April 2028, weeks before the Los Angeles Summer Olympics. “Workers represented by UNITE HERE Local 11 have created an important tool to keep themselves and their communities safe,” said Cassandra Gomez

When immigration agents arrived at the Los Angeles car wash where he worked, Giovanni didn’t see them until one was standing beside him. Giovanni’s thoughts turned to his family: How would they get by without him? Would he have to uproot his school-age children from the only home they had ever known? Giovanni had worked at the car wash in the San Fernando Valley for years, vacuuming interiors and scrubbing cars. Then, on that day in October, he was taken away by federal immigration agents along with three other workers.

June 23, 2026 Rebecca Burns, In These Times. Educate! Affordable Housing, Los Angeles, Monopolies, Tenant Rights

A$69 billion merger between two real estate behemoths is set to create the largest publicly traded apartment landlord in U.S. history, dramatically expanding the market power of two firms that have been sued repeatedly over alleged tenant abuses and illegal price-fixing. Together, real estate investment trusts (REITs) AvalonBay Communities and Equity Residential own more than 180,000 apartments nationwide, with another 20,000 under development. Were these two companies banks or broadcast networks or grocery stores, their merger would face mandatory review by federal regulators.

LA Is Building For The 2028 Olympics; Organizers Want To Stop It

June 9, 2026 Eliana Perozo, Next City. Resist! California, Displacement, Los Angeles, NOlympics, Olympics, Sports

Cerianne Robertson spent years watching a city change as it prepared to host the Olympics. While living in Rio de Janeiro and working as a journalist, Robertson says she and her team saw the displacement happen. From 2014 to 2018, she reported on evictions that helped make way for the Olympic park and related transit infrastructure. About 77,000 people were displaced from their homes — mostly in favelas — by the city government between 2009 and 2016, the year Rio hosted the Olympics. Robertson says while not all of the displacement was directly related to stadium builds or Olympic transit, there had been very few government-led evictions before 2009.

Los Angeles, CA – On Sunday, March 15, the People’s Care Collective (PCC), hosted an event on the steps of LA General Medical Center calling attention to the many violations of health and human rights that Los Angeles hospitals have enabled. ICE and local law enforcement have entered health care facilities trampling on the rights of immigrants and their families. Members of Centro CSO, Union del Barrio, Justice LA Coalition, California Immigrant Policy Center, and People’s Care Collective all spoke truth at the steps of power to demand that LA hospitals must stop prioritizing the interests of police, ICE, and insurance companies over protecting patients who seek care, regardless of their immigration status.

Arturo had only ever seen agents at the border before, never in Los Angeles. But on Friday, June 6, the Department of Homeland Security descended on a Home Depot near MacArthur Park. As on any other morning, Arturo had arrived at the store to wait alongside more than a hundred jornaleros for a day, or even a few hours, of construction work. He saw people running and heard screams of “la migra” before he laid eyes on the men in fatigues or understood that they were making arrests. He broke into a run, following a crowd through the store’s automatic doors.

Could Cities Partner With Guerilla Urbanists For Safer Streets?

Painting a crosswalk is cheap and easy. A group of neighbors can paint an entire intersection in one morning for $100 or less. Getting the city of Los Angeles to paint a crosswalk, on the other hand, might take 14 years and the death of a 9-year-old boy. Across L.A., neighbors are banding together to paint crosswalks to protest the city’s failure to protect people outside of cars. Jonathan Hale, a UCLA law student who goes by “Jonny,” spent four Saturday mornings painting crosswalks with neighbors at Stoner Park this summer, covering each corner of the park. After the city removed them, he went to the press and vowed to repaint them.

LA Tenants’ Strikes Forced A Major Landlord To Refund Opaque Utility Fees

When Joe Porter, a 29-year-old video editor, moved into his 400-square-foot studio apartment in Los Angeles four years ago, his bills for water, trash removal and pest control were bundled together into one monthly payment that came out to about $60. After the first few years, Porter said, his bill increased to about $200. When he asked his landlord – the giant real estate investment trust Equity Residential — for an explanation, he was told billing was done by a third party and that Equity could not provide a more detailed breakdown. Like many landlords of multifamily buildings, Equity uses a billing method called ratio utility billing systems (RUBS). Landlords who use this system divvy up the costs of the building’s total utilities usage according to each unit’s square footage and number of tenants.
