Hey Venice my name is Sarah Mahir and I’m running for the community interest position in our VNC elections.
I’m stopping by one of our last true local publications to introduce myself those of you in the community who may not know me. As a venetian born and raised I’m deeply passionate about all things we as a neighborhood value. I’m one of the activists who spent the past seven years fighting to preserve, protect and honor the First Baptist Church of Venice to become a cultural and historic monument. There are many more culturally significant places that I am currently defending such as the Vera Davis center ,Pagodas and the Venice lifeguard station. The work in Venice is never ending. I have been a champion for our unhoused for the past twenty years, advocated for swift,equitable accessible services and housing. I am an active member of grassroots circles and many committees in our community. I will continue to show up strong and advocate to move our goals in all areas forward and improve the lives of all community members. I look forward to meeting all of you in the future and working together to rekindle the quintessential soul of Venice that everyone fell in love with.
