What Does A City Councilwoman REALLY Do? w/ Eunisses Hernandez

As Los Angeles faces rising housing costs, growing concerns around public safety, and increasing frustration with political systems that feel disconnected from everyday people, #TheRallyRoom asks a critical question: what does local government actually do? This week, Emiliana sits down with Eunisses Hernandez for a conversation about the real impact of city politics — from rent stabilization, housing affordability, public safety, voting rights, and the fight to keep communities from being displaced. At a time when many people feel powerless, Eunisses makes the case that local politics may be the place where change is still most possible.Together, Emiliana and Eunisses explore the realities of serving in City Hall, the influence of money in local elections, why representation matters, and how community organizing can shape the future of the city. The message is clear: politics doesn’t just happen in Washington — it starts on your block, in your neighborhood, and in the decisions that shape daily life for working families across Los Angeles.🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
