In this Legal Lens podcast episode, I am joined by CA Assemblymember @SadeElhawaryforAssembly, whose path to public service reflects years of deep community-rooted work, education, and advocacy.
💡 Assemblymember Elhawary shares how her Egyptian–Guatemalan roots, years with Community Coalition, and “I’m with the Blacks” speech at LA City Hall led her from organizing behind the scenes into elected office. She breaks down what it means to represent a district that includes South Central, Downtown LA, Skid Row, Exposition Park, and parts of Watts, where most residents are Black or Latino and living on modest incomes. She is also an educator and foster mom.
In this clip, Hon. Elhawary shares more about the THRIVE Act and why she believes young people impacted by violence deserve meaningful pathways to healing, support, and restoration.
