Hello Neighbor,

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Assemblywoman Luz Rivas, and I represent you in the California State Assembly!

I am thrilled to serve the 43rd Assembly District in California for the next two years. In 2018, I was humbly elected and sworn into the California State Assembly, and it makes me extremely proud to represent a community that has given me so much.

Hello Neighbor,

In just one month, we will be welcoming the New Year!

This year, I worked to ensure the 39^th Assembly District received $32.5 million from the state budget, and passed legislation that would keep Pacifica Hospital of the Valley open and established the first advance warning and ranking system protecting communities like ours in the San Fernando Valley from extreme heat.

Dear Neighbor,

In 2021, I passed Assembly Bill (AB) 46, a bill that created the California Youth Empowerment Commission (CYEC) to engage California’s youth in the policy making process. The bill was ultimately signed, and I was able to secure $1.5 million to establish the Commission this year.

Applications are officially open! The Commission provides a unique opportunity for the state’s youth to be civically engaged and make recommendations to the Legislature, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Governor on specific legislative and fiscal issues.

Dear Neighbor,

I want to cordially invite you to join me and Los Angeles Mission College for a community resource fair & fall enrollment event. It will take place on Saturday, August 13 at 9 a.m. at LAMC Courtyard. Please join me to celebrate the newly signed state budget, which includes $10 million to be allocated to LAMC for the creation of the Biotechnology STEM Hub. Come and learn how the Regional Hub will create a pipeline for the next generation of STEM leaders from this community.

Estimado vecino,

Lo invito a reunirse conmigo el sábado 29 de enero de 2022 a las 10:00 a.m. para un ayuntamiento virtual sobre la indigencia. Representantes de Caltrans, la Patrulla de Carreteras de California y la Autoridad de Servicios para Personas sin Hogar de Los Ángeles (LAHSA) nos acompañarán para hablar sobre las inversiones recientes del estado para combatir la falta de vivienda, los procesos de las agencias estatales para abordar la indigencia, cómo se brindan servicios a la comunidad sin hogar y los esfuerzos actuales para embellecer nuestras carreteras.

Dear Neighbor,

Dear Neighbor,

As we approach the end of the year holiday season, I want to provide you with an update on my annual book and toy drive, as well as some of the legislative successes I had in Sacramento this year.

Holiday Book & Toy Drive

Para español, desplace hacia abajo.

Dear Neighbor,

As you may already know, Caltrans has been hard at work with its many repairs to Interstate 210. Earlier this year, I met with Caltrans leadership to discuss priority concerns in the 39^th Assembly District and pushed to secure funding for cleanup efforts on our highways. This is a concern amongst many of my constituents, and that is why I prioritize updating my district with upcoming maintenance projects.

Dear Friends,

This has been a challenging year for our small businesses and nonprofits.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and nonprofits are the pillar of our communities. Back in March, I led the effort in the Legislature to ensure nonprofits are included in COVID-19 recovery efforts. They serve as a critical partner to state and local governments by providing and performing a wide variety of services that help our most vulnerable communities.

Dear Friends,

This has been a challenging year for everyone.

In an effort to make sure no families go hungry this holiday season, I have partnered with the Pacoima Neighborhood Council and Meet Each Need with Dignity (MEND) to host a Free Thanksgiving Food Distribution Drive-Thru and Walk-Thru Event. The event will take place on Friday, November 20, 2020 from 9-11a.m. at MEND in Pacoima.
