Candidates Karen Bass and Rick Caruso gave their takes on what the city needs to do to move forward during their latest forum, which was hosted by Jewish organizations.
"I am especially concerned about antisemitism because the statistic in Los Angeles is incredibly troubling," said Caruso. "I called immediately for the contracts to be canceled with Kanye," said Bass."His behavior is what it is, but the fact that the banner said 'Kanye was right' is a perfect example of how his speech led to that act. It gave license to that act.
The forum occurred as voting is underway and less than two weeks before Election Day. Sarah Sadhwani, a politics professor at Pomona College, said that the forum showed that the race is clearly tightening. "Certainly, we've seen the polling show that the two are neck-and-neck in this race," she said."It's anyone's game at this point. Karen has been in the lead throughout most of this race but of course, we are in unprecedented times."
For the Jewish community leaders here, the message they wanted to put out was clear — hate should not have a home in L.A. and the next mayor needs to lead the charge on that. "We urged tonight is that people use their own voice to speak up," said ADL regional director Jeffrey Abrams."Democracy is not a spectator sport. The way to address so much of what's going on right now is to speak up.""We are in crisis and LA is a better place than has been reflected globally," he said.
