Cityhood for East L.A.'s photostream

Considered by many as the cultural, social, and political focal point of the Mexican-American community in the United States, the 140,000 residents of unincorporated East Los Angeles are ready for cityhood.
With the support of community leaders, residents, business associations, and elected officials, the East Los Angeles Cityhood Committee is organizing support and enlisting volunteers to incorporate East LA as a city. Currently, residents have no city government, which would provide vital services, local representation, and a voice for community concerns.
