Full summary

Mayor Karen Bass has nominated Erin Glenn to fill a vacancy on the Climate Emergency Mobilization Commission, the city body responsible for coordinating Los Angeles's response to the climate crisis and overseeing implementation of related action plans. Glenn would serve a term ending June 30, 2031, filling the seat left by the departure of Luis Martinez. Glenn is a North Valley resident (Council District 7) who holds a J.D. from Southwestern Law School and brings roughly 15 years of experience in law, policy, community organizing, and government relations. She currently works as a Bilingual Outreach Manager for the California Civil Rights Department, managing Spanish-language outreach and engagement across the state, and is simultaneously a State of Engagement Fellow at UC Berkeley's Possibility Lab. Her earlier career included roles as External Relations and Communications Manager at the children's nonprofit Para Los Niños, a Network for Justice Fellowship with California ChangeLawyers, immigration law clinic work at Southwestern Law School, and homelessness prevention advocacy through Public Counsel. Early in her career she served as CEO of Asociación de Loncheros L.A. Familia Unida de California, a food truck industry advocacy group, where she led successful efforts to challenge local and state legislation affecting immigrant street vendors. The nomination was submitted August 14, 2026, and referred to the Energy and Environment Committee three days later. Before the Council can act, Glenn must complete ethics and financial disclosure filings with the City Ethics Commission, submit to a background check, and may meet with her district councilmember Monica Rodriguez and committee chair Adrin Nazarian. No hearing date has been scheduled as of the last recorded activity. The appointment requires confirmation by the full City Council before Glenn can be sworn in.
