Jewish Action for Los Angeles Endorses Marissa Roy for LA City Attorney

Jewish Action for Los Angeles is proud to announce that our board and membership have voted to endorse Marissa Roy for LA City Attorney.

Marissa is a brilliant lawyer and an experienced public servant who has built her career fighting to protect consumers, the environment, tenants, and civil rights – including successfully suing the Trump administration.

She’s an advocate for justice with a clear vision for how the city attorney’s office can improve life in LA for everyday Angelenos and she shares our organizational values.

Under the current City Attorney, LA City has faced record-breaking liability payouts, attempts to criminalize free speech and block affordable housing, and alarming efforts to give police greater power to target journalists. Marissa Roy offers a profoundly different vision: intelligent, ethical, justice-oriented leadership grounded in competence and care for the people of Los Angeles.

Marissa believes in Jewish Action for LA’s vision of a just, thriving Los Angeles County where all people can live in dignity, prosperity, and safety. Together we are committed to actively countering antisemitism of all forms and to resisting the weaponization of antisemitism allegations to attack democracy and civil liberties.
