For our Annual Thesis Project (ATP) this year, my advisory class is working on the campaign to incorporate the area of East Los Angeles. Already underway, the Cityhood for East LA movement is seeking local control and community participation in municipal governance and to provide accountability and voice for residents. My advosiry class has broken into eight taskforces, each focused on a different aspect of cityhood. Our goal is to examine the current state of city services run by Los Angeles County and to imagine what they could become once East LA becomes incorporated and they are run by the City. The students are engaged in academic and hands on research, taking them from the Cal State and ELAC libraries to the streets of their neighborhood.
