When every candidate for city council says they want a safer, more affordable Culver City, how do you know who to vote for? We looked past the platitudes to how each candidate has actually spoken and voted on real decisions in front of the council.

Our Culver is proud to share our 2026 Progressive Voter Guide for local Culver City elections, including City Council, School Board, and local ballot measures.

A community member prepared this essential toolkit on affordable afterschool care in Culver City. City Council approved a 50% fee increase for CCARP — Culver City's most affordable after-school program for CCUSD elementary students — with a plan to raise fees 100% over two years. Because CCARP has kept other after-school programs cost-competitive, the increase could ripple far beyond CCARP families.

Together, you've sent more than a thousand letters to City Council members and the City Manager demanding they take down the Flock cameras. Culver City rarely sees an outpouring like this on anything. We need to keep it up, because things are moving fast.

Better Overland is the City's plan to redesign Overland Avenue with protected bike lanes, a new crosswalk near the library, and other safety upgrades. As the project has moved forward, a number of claims about it have circulated that don't match what's actually in the public record. We pulled the record — City Council staff reports, meeting minutes, and the project's own webpage — to check the claims against the facts. Here's what we found.

Culver City has released its draft 2026-27 Budget — and there's a lot of good news for families, students, and seniors. Affordability, community connection, and quality of life are the big winners this year.

A group of residents of The Meadows Apartments in the Fox Hills neighborhood has prevailed over their landlord’s efforts to override Culver City’s tenant protections ordinance. In 2024, the landlord sued the City of Culver City, intending to displace many of the 573 households, renovate their apartments, and then charge significantly higher rents. Renovating and removing tenants is prohibited under the ordinance and the city was intent on prohibiting it.

The Culver City Unified School District, like many others across California, faces a serious financial crisis driven by reduced state and federal funding, the end of pandemic relief funds, lower enrollment, and other factors. Raising funds from all available sources is the only way to maintain our programs and the quality of education we expect and deserve from our schools. Here are some simple things you can do to help.

Our community showed its commitment to affordability solutions on Saturday by showing up at the Wende Museum and contributing to a vital discussion on how we make an impact for families, young people, seniors, working people, and anyone else who feels the pressure of rising costs in our day-to-day lives.

We’re using our Affordability Panel on March 14 at the Wende to spotlight opportunities in Culver City and our neighboring communities so, together, we can start to bring down the high cost-of-living for seniors, families and young people trying to build a life in our community.  Here are some of the local groups joining us on the panel and a look at how they can contribute solutions for our community.

On February 17, 2026, Culver City’s Standing Housing and Homelessness Subcommittee directed city staff to apply for grant funding that would create a Right to Counsel program for low-income tenants facing eviction. Now, Culver City has the opportunity to create the first fully operational Right to Counsel program in California.
