Los Angeles Stands with Armenian and Russian Communities
Local leaders and community members gathered at TUMO in North Hollywood for a panel discussion addressing the impact of discriminatory rhetoric on Armenian, Russian, and other immigrant communities.
The discussion focused on remarks made by federal official Dr. Mehmet Oz during a visit to Los Angeles and the economic harm reportedly experienced by nearby businesses, some of which saw sales decline by more than 30%.
Panelists emphasized the power of words, the importance of standing against hate and discrimination, and the City’s commitment to supporting immigrant communities. The conversation also explored potential legal avenues the City could pursue to help protect residents and businesses harmed by discriminatory statements or actions.
