West Hollywood City Council to Host Town Hall to Confront Trump’s Alarming Policies

Resource Fair and Panel to Empower Residents Amid Political Uncertainty.

The City of West Hollywood will host a town hall and resource fair later this month focused on the impact of the Trump administration’s first 100 days in office, particularly on LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, women, and other marginalized communities.

Titled “Safeguarding Our Rights – The First 100 Days,” the event will take place on Tuesday, April 29, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the West Hollywood Council Chambers, located at 625 N. San Vicente Boulevard. The evening will begin with a resource fair, followed by a panel discussion and a Q&A session. Attendance is free and open to the public, with advance RSVP available at go.weho.org/townhall.

The town hall is being organized in response to a series of policy rollbacks and funding cuts enacted during President Trump’s initial months in office—actions that local leaders say threaten the rights and well-being of vulnerable communities.

Partner organizations participating in the event include the ACLU of Southern California, APLA Health, CHIRLA, Equality California, the Los Angeles LGBT Center, Planned Parenthood, and the TransLatin@ Coalition. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with these groups and receive advocacy tools, resources, and support.

The panel discussion, scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., will feature representatives from these organizations who will discuss the immediate effects of recent federal actions and highlight the importance of grassroots advocacy and collective action. A live Q&A session will follow at 8:30 p.m.

The event will be broadcast live on WeHoTV (Spectrum Cable Channel 10 in West Hollywood) and livestreamed across digital platforms, including the City’s YouTube channel and website, as well as AppleTV, Amazon FireTV, AndroidTV, and Roku (search “WeHoTV”).

The City of West Hollywood has reaffirmed its longstanding commitment to equity and inclusion in response to the federal shift in policy direction. In December 2024, the City Council passed a resolution reaffirming its core values and committing to defend the rights of all residents, particularly those who have been historically marginalized.
