Candidates Mitch O'Farrell and Hugo Soto-Martinez joined moderator Katherine Perez for a civil, engaged discussion on homelessness in Greater Hollywood
August 24, 2022 from 5-7pm at Emerson College
Our 2nd H4WRD Member Event brought together CD 13 candidates Mitch O'Farrell and Hugo Soto-Martinez for a discussion on homelessness in Greater Hollywood, moderated by Katherine Perez and held at the beautiful LA Campus of Emerson College.
What a treat to see two politicians expressing their differences about this challenging issue calmly and respectfully. Big thanks to the H4WRD members, business leaders and local residents for the great turnout – and for their insightful questions for the two candidates! After a long summer of zoom member meetings, it was a treat as well to see so many folks in person again!

Dr. Thomas Insel, author of Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health
May 11, 2022 from 6-9pm at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
Dr. Thomas Insel is a psychiatrist, a neuroscientist and the former head of the National Institute for Mental Health. He was also tasked by Governor Gavin Newsom to be his Mental Health “Czar” for one year, when he travelled throughout California on a listening tour to better understand the human toll of our fragmented mental health system. His book, Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health was published in February 2022 and has been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal and more.
Join us to have a book club conversation! Dr. Insel graciously accepted Hollywood 4WRD’s invitation to enter into a dialogue about the themes he surfaces in his book. Since this is a book club, you will want to read the book and bring it with you so you can have him sign it. Thanks to the publisher, we have access to a special 30 percent discount code for this event for Hollywood 4WRD members.
