Dennis Hathaway of Ban Billboard Blight has asked citizens to stop alcohol advertisements on City owned property. The vote in council is today.
Email or call your council office to stand up and say that bus shelters, kiosks, and other public spaces should not be used for this advertising that often targets young people who are especially at risk for excessive drinking and alcohol addiction.
“Alcohol advertising is a big revenue source for sign companies, but we can tell our leaders that the city should not allow the public right-of-way to be used for these ads,” wrote Hathaway. “The Los Angeles County MTA bans these ads on its buses and trains, as do a number of other cities and transit agencies around the country, and with your support we can proudly add the city of L.A. to that list.”
