Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I will take action to address homelessness by establishing safe parking and safe campsites with bathrooms, showers, and social services on-site. I will work to keep tenants in-place, and to speed permitting for affordable housing.
• I will fight to make our streets safer for all Angelenos, with protected bus lanes, protected bike lanes, and wide sidewalks, so that Angelenos have better choices for how they travel our city. This will help traffic, better our air quality, and is significant climate action.
• I will invest in our urban forest, so that every neighborhood is rich with trees, and has a park within walking distance.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am running on a platform of housing, transit, and trees -- to create great jobs, grow our economy, and take significant climate action. Learn more at www.sarahkatelevy.com .
