Community members recently gathered at City Hall for the annual Budget Day 2026! Organized by EmpowerLA, this vital event helps locals understand city spending and voice neighborhood needs directly to elected officials.

EmpowerLA supports 99 neighborhood councils across the city that actively advise City Hall on community improvements. This year's event featured an exciting new addition: a dedicated session just for youth. Organizers want young people to get involved early, noting that real change only happens when citizens step up and take action.
