Petition for the Immediate Recall of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass

We, the undersigned residents of Los Angeles and concerned citizens, urgently call for the immediate recall of Mayor Karen Bass due to her gross mismanagement and failure to effectively respond to the devastating 2025 fires in and around the city of Los Angeles.

In the wake of these catastrophic fires, our city has been left in crisis. Water supplies have been severely strained, billions of taxpayer dollars have been misallocated or left unaccounted for, and countless lives have been lost. Families have been displaced, homes destroyed, and livelihoods shattered—yet Mayor Bass has been absent from the frontlines, choosing to travel abroad while her constituents suffer.

Despite the tireless efforts of our first responders, the city has been woefully unprepared to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents. Basic resources, such as water and emergency services, have been inadequate, and leadership has been nowhere to be found when it was needed most.

We demand:

1. The immediate resignation of Mayor Karen Bass due to her failure to lead during this unprecedented crisis.
2. A full, transparent investigation into the failures in disaster preparedness, response, and resource allocation that left our city vulnerable.
3. Accountability for the mismanagement of taxpayer funds intended for disaster relief and recovery.
4. A comprehensive plan for ensuring the safety of all Angelenos in the face of future disasters.
The people of Los Angeles deserve a leader who is present, accountable, and actively working to protect and serve our community. Mayor Bass’s actions—or lack thereof—have shown she is unfit for the office she holds.

We call on our fellow Angelenos and all concerned citizens to stand with us in holding Mayor Bass accountable. It is time for a change.
