The Legal Lens podcast of the week features CA Assemblymember
@SadeElhawaryforAssembly (D‑57), an educator, organizer, foster mom, and first‑term legislator representing communities across South Central, Downtown LA, Skid Row, and Exposition Park.
🔗 From her years at Community Coalition to her “I’m with the Blacks” protest moment at LA City Hall, Hon. Elhawary shares how community organizing, wellness, and restorative justice shape her approach to policy, public safety, and opportunity in one of California’s most diverse districts.
In this clip, Assemblymember Elhawary highlights how working alongside residents, advocates, and colleagues across the aisle build safer, more sustainable communities where people can thrive. We talk about what it means for her to be on the front lines with her constituents, and why she sees them not just as voters, but as true partners in this work.
