Topline: The backstory: Bass said last month that violent crime in and around MacArthur Park had been reduced by half in a matter of weeks. But several residents and organizers told LAist they haven’t seen that type of improvement. Some, like Raul Claros from the CD1 Coalition, say the situation has stayed the same or gotten worse.
Who's invited? All residents and stakeholders are welcome. Organizers say they have also invited Bass, City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, the chiefs of the Police and Fire departments, and other state and local leaders. How to attend: The town hall will be held at Iglesia Pentecostes, 2020 W.
7th St., from 6 to 8 p.m.
on April 24. Space is limited, so organizers recommend RSVPing by email to [email protected] .
