Sepi Shyne and John Erickson are Sworn in as West Hollywood Mayor

Mayor Meister called the Regular City meeting to order. Following the City’s Land Acknowledgement, she introduced Tina Calderón, a Gabrieliño Tongva / Chumash Culture Bearer who helped draft the City’s Land Acknowledgement. She performed a song that her culture offers all of their women when they achieve something tremendous. The song sent a message stating “We are women. We Are strong.” Mayor Pro Tem Erickson thank everyone who showed up to the ceremony, despite the rain, calling the event “a moment in our city’s history with the first ever woman of color to be sworn in as mayor.”
