Press Release
LOS ANGELES – Today, Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) issued the following statement upon the passing of Nativo Lopez.
“Nativo
spent his life supporting and advocating for the rights of immigrants
in East Los Angeles. When I was an activist in the South Los Angeles
community dealing with police abuse, we worked together on behalf of our
communities and supported each other’s struggles. He devoted his life
to fighting for social and economic justice and improving the lives of
the members of his community. His voice will be missed but because of
his investments in future generations of Angelenos, it will not be
absent or forgotten.”
