Bad BIDness in the City of Angels: Business Improvement Districts, Lobbying, and Class Warfare.

Tuesday, July 25, 7:30PM at the Skid Row History Museum and Archive

Adrian Riskin who blogs about BIDs in LA at MichaelKohlhaas.Org presents:

Business improvement districts in Los Angeles have a long history of lobbying the City government and of evading municipal lobbying laws to further the interests of the propertied classes. Their opposition to Skid Row Neighborhood Council formation was another in a long line of coordinated attacks on the interests of low income and homeless Angelenos by BIDs in recent years. It turns out to be surprisingly possible to track their activities using the California Public Records Act.

LAPD Mission

Founded in 1985 by director-performer-activist John Malpede, Los Angeles Poverty Department (LAPD) is a non-profit arts organization, the first performance group in the nation made up principally of homeless people, and the first arts program of any kind for homeless people in Los Angeles. LAPD creates performances and multidisciplinary artworks that connect the experience of people living in poverty to the social forces that shape their lives and communities. LAPD’s works express the realities, hopes, dreams and rights of people who live and work in L.A.’s Skid Row.
