In Los Angeles, community advocates have long fought for a unified City Council district for Koreatown, which they say would lead to reinvestment in the city's most densely populated neighborhood. - NBCAsianAmerica
Despite its name, Koreatown is a majority-Latino neighborhood. Asian Americans are the second-largest racial group. But it’s Korean immigrants, who began settling in the area in the 1960s after the nation's immigrant quota system was lifted, who built a sprawling business district with world-renowned restaurants and nightclubs.
Earlier this year, a group of 10 long-standing nonprofits in Koreatown, including the Korean American Coalition, formed the Koreatown Redistricting Task Force to rally community support for their campaign. The coalition organized three town halls and several— in Spanish, Korean and English — to inform constituents about the benefits of a consolidated council district.
