Many businesses have now been affected by or vandalized.

Last night there were twenty three businesses that were looted, and I think that if you drive through

Downtown LA, the graffiti is everywhere and has caused significant damages to businesses and a number of properties.

So my message to you is: if you do not live or work in downtown LA, avoid the area.

officials tomorrow on the continuation of the curfew, but we certainly expect for it to last for several days.

You look and look at the map and you can see that the city of Los Angeles is a massive area, five hundred and two square miles.

The area of downtown where the curfew will take place is one square mile.

I think it is important to point this out, not to minimize the vandalism and violence that has taken place there.

It has been significant, but it is extremely important to know.

that what is happening in this one square mile is not affecting the cities.

especially of the graffiti that is just blanketing a number of blocks uh has been extensive.

We are one year away from the World Cup.

This is about beautifying our city and bringing our city together.

And so I am calling on business leaders, community leaders, faith leaders to come together

downtown in the next few days to talk about how we are going to clean up the city.

Obviously city workers are already out there removing the graffiti, but this is so extensive it's gonna take community wide involvement.

We had launched a program called Shine LA a couple of months ago in preparation for

uh the World Cup and now we are called on to direct that city wide.

We need people from all over the city to come to downtown and to help with this effort.

I want the people of Los Angeles to know that we stand with all Angelinos, no matter where you were born.
