The 9th City Council District in Los Angeles stretches from the southern edge of Downtown Los Angeles, through South Central, all the way toward Watts. The communities of Central-Alameda, Vernon-Central, South Park, Green Meadows, and Vermont Square all call District 9 home. The district is among the most diverse and youngest in the city, with over three-quarters of residents identifying as Latino, a significant Black community, and many families with roots across Latin America and beyond. Nearly 40% of District 9 residents live below the federal poverty line, making it the city's poorest council district, and many households face challenges of housing insecurity, limited access to good jobs, and environmental burdens.Currently, District 9 is represented by Councilmember Curren Price, who has held the seat since 2013. With Price's tenure ending, this year's open-seat race has drawn intense interest. The primary election will take place on June 2, 2026, and the runoff, if needed, will be in November. This year, the field features community leaders, non-profit executives, and policy advocates all vying for votes. The candidates include Jose Ugarte, Estuardo Mazariegos, Elmer Roldan, and several others—each bringing their own vision for the future of South LA.Today's guest is Elmer Roldan, a well-known education advocate whose work has focused on youth opportunity and social equity in Los Angeles. Elmer currently runs Communities In Schools of Los Angeles, has worked for LAUSD, and spent nearly two decades working for Community Coalition. We sat down recently for an in-depth conversation about who he is, what his ties are to the district, and what his agenda and vision are for the district and for Los Angeles.https://www.elmerroldan.com/Nov 5 - Elmer RoldanNov 12 - Estuardo MazariegosNov 19 - Jose UgarteWhat's Next, Los Angeles? is produced and hosted by Mike Bonin, in partnership with LA Forward.

This week for our “Ready, Set, Leap” series, our host and founder, Yoli Tamu welcomes the very student who first inspired her to begin serving college students years ago! In this episode, we meet Rwanda Carter, ASW, PPSC, Psychiatric Social Worker for LAUSD's Black Student Achievement Plan (BSAP). Born in Belize and raised in Watts, Rwanda shares how her parents' sacrifices inspired her to uplift her community, build belonging, and lead with purpose. She recalls finding her voice through campus organizations like the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and the Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK)—programs that nurtured her drive to serve others. Now, as a mentor and advocate, Rwanda has come full circle, creating opportunities for high school students to experience growth, community wellness, and college exploration. Her powerful journey proves that when you invest in underserved communities, the results ripple across generations. Rwanda completed both her Master of Social Work and her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at California State University, Fullerton. She is a dedicated social worker committed to uplifting and serving communities with limited access to mental health resources. As the BSAP Psychiatric Social Worker, she promotes mental wellness among historically underserved students through representation, advocacy, and culturally responsive care. Her work centers on reducing stigma, expanding access to mental health services, and empowering Black youth through trauma-informed and identity-affirming interventions. By collaborating with educators, families, and community partners, Rwanda helps create safe, inclusive environments where students feel seen, heard, and supported. Her long-term goal is to influence mental health policy to expand equitable access to care and address systemic barriers impacting marginalized populations. To learn more about Rwanda and her work, visit her at LAUSD.org or connect with her on LinkedIn.

Along the way, we get into her love of Bravo, her daughter's Biggie-inspired rap debut, and why health and education are inseparable when it comes to helping kids thrive.

Plus, with so much swirling around schools -- from fears of ICE and LAUSD making strong efforts to keep kids and families safe, livestreamed genocide on kids phones, and the constant authoritarian creep dominating the headlines -- we discuss how to talk about the world with students today.

Why ‘Mandatory Reporting' Failed to Stop Devil's Den Killer-Teacher Welcome to the teaser episode of Classroom Coverup, a 10-part true crime podcast series that exposes the disturbing practice known as "passing the trash," where schools allow teachers accused of predatory behavior—such as grooming, inappropriate touching, or sexual comments toward students—to resign quietly without reporting to authorities or documenting issues in their records. Often, these educators receive neutral or even positive references, enabling them to move to new districts or states and continue endangering children. Drawing on court documents, survivor accounts, news reports, and verified statistics, this episode introduces the series by highlighting the most shocking cases and the systemic failures that allow them to persist. We cover cases like Andrew McGann, whose alleged favoritism toward young girls went unreported as he moved across states, culminating in a 2025 double murder; Gary Gregor's decades-long abuse spree across Utah, Montana, and New Mexico, ending in a 2022 conviction for child rape; and Jon White's horrific acts in Illinois, feeding semen-laced snacks to second-graders after a misleading reference. From impregnating a teen in California's elite schools to recent 2024-2025 cases involving cheer coaches and Scientology-linked cover-ups, the allegations are staggering: molestation, rape, and even murder tied to unchecked escalation. Why does this happen? Schools prioritize avoiding lawsuits, union pressures protect teachers, and administrators choose silence to preserve reputations. The impact is devastating: 10% of K-12 students face misconduct (Shakeshaft 2004), with Texas logging 4,300 unreported educator exits since 2017 against 2,500 charges. Victims suffer lifelong PTSD, while districts like LAUSD pay out $1.4 billion in settlements. Reforms like Texas' SB 571 and New Jersey's hush bans offer hope, but gaps remain. This teaser breaks down what happened, why it matters, and how to fight back with advocacy and awareness. On X, #EndPassingTheTrash is gaining traction. Listen, share, and join the movement—kids' safety depends on it!
