COMMUNITY TELLS KREKORIAN: NO VOICE! NO WAY!

Alcohol Justice logo.

SAN RAFAEL, California, Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Members of Los Angeles Drug and Alcohol Policy Alliance (LADAPA) will hold a protest rally to demand that the public retains the right to comment upon any new off-sale alcohol license applications in Los Angeles. The rally will take place immediately prior to a Los Angeles City Planning hearing to review Councilmember Krekorian’s proposed alcohol streamline ordinance that will eliminate public comment from the restaurant alcohol licensing approval process.

Alcohol Justice logo.

If passed, the ordinance would allow businesses to cheaply and quickly get a permit to sell alcohol, while communities will no longer have a voice in how it’s sold, when it’s sold, or where it’s sold. The proposed ordinance will do away with public input and automatically grant licenses if restaurants agree to a set of very weak conditions. Opponents call it “a rubber stamp for harm.”

Two recent criminal indictments point to the need for greater public input and oversight of the alcohol licensing process in Los Angeles. A California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) agent was “on the take” in Koreatown; and, Councilmember Jose Huizar, who chaired the PLUM committee that reviews alcohol license approvals for the City, has lost his position and is now under FBI investigation.

Rally

  • When: Wednesday December 5, 2018
  • Time: 8:30 a.m.
  • Location: City Hall East, Main Street facing the main entrance to City Hall, Los Angeles, CA 90012

City Planning Hearing

  • When: Wednesday December 5, 2018
  • Time: 10 a.m.
  • Location: Los Angeles City Hall, Room 1060, 200 N. Spring St., Los Angeles, CA 90012

“UTEP is honored the National Alliance for Hispanic Health has chosen El Paso as an important stop for the All of Us national tour.

Our goal as health research scientists is to find ways to improve the quality of life of our community.”   

“To continue our work to increase the inclusion of Hispanics in clinical and biomedical research, we are bringing the All of Us Research Program to our communities. The participation of diverse communities in All of Us will help build the foundation for a new era of health care where medicine is tailored to each person,” said Jane L. Delgado, Ph.D., M.S., President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health.

About the National Alliance for Hispanic Health (the Alliance) – The Alliance is the nation’s foremost science-based source of information and trusted non-partisan advocate for the best health outcomes for all.
