CCNU Endorses Citizens' School Parcel Tax Measure Culver City
Culver City Neighbors United (CCNU) is proud to endorse the Parcel Tax Initiative for our schools which will appear on the November 3 ballot after qualifying through a citizen-led signature drive. The measure was placed on the ballot by the City Council on July 13.
For decades, Culver City residents have invested in our public schools because strong schools strengthen our entire community. This measure would replace the current flat parcel tax with a more equitable funding formula based on building square footage, helping ensure our schools have the resources they need to continue providing an outstanding education for current and future generations.
CCNU believes excellent public schools are one of the foundations of a thriving community. They support our children, strengthen neighborhoods, and help maintain the quality of life that makes Culver City such a special place to live.
We encourage residents to learn more about the measure and join us in voting Yes this November.

CCNU Stands Up formally joining the national resistance
Dear Neighbors,
Culver City Neighbors United believes that the orders, actions, and policies of President Donald Trump and his administration go beyond partisan politics and demand clear moral scrutiny.
We can no longer treat these actions as matters of political opinion. Therefore, we join a growing movement of Americans calling on our government to be held accountable for:
We urge our neighbors to stand up, speak out, and stay engaged. Our silence cannot be mistaken for consent. The health of our nation—and the soul of our democracy—depends on it.
United we stand,

Culver City Neighbors United believes that the orders, actions, and policies of President Donald Trump and his administration go beyond partisan politics and demand clear moral scrutiny.
We can no longer treat these actions as matters of political opinion. Therefore, we join a growing movement of Americans calling on our government to be held accountable for:
- The use of fear, coercion, and retaliation to silence dissent;
- The undermining of the rule of law and the independence of our judiciary;
- Arbitrary and politically motivated funding cuts under the pretense of “waste and fraud,”
- Discriminatory actions against immigrants and communities of color, including the abuses committed by ICE;
- The targeting and dismantling of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts across federal agencies and educational institutions;
- The suppression of scientific, medical, historical, and social research vital to public health and progress;
- And the dismissal of dedicated public servants, particularly people of color, as part of a broader campaign to erode democratic norms and institutional integrity.
We urge our neighbors to stand up, speak out, and stay engaged. Our silence cannot be mistaken for consent. The health of our nation—and the soul of our democracy—depends on it.
United we stand,
Culver City Neighbors United
