Joel Lava For Congress

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED. Last year!

Vote! Today is primary day! And THANK YOU to everyone who helped out on the campaign and who voted! No matter what happens, we will fight to make this country better! 🙏

Vote!!! Primary day is June 2nd!!! Fight & Unite!!!

We all have some anxiety and worry about the state of our country. Imagine the future in store for our kids! We need to be acting NOW, on the climate crisis, jobs, housing and healthcare affordability, gun violence, and AI. Our current leaders aren't quite cutting it. This is why I'm running.

With our projection in the background, we got many great interviews. This one sums it all up!

With the election's final days nearing, I wanted to get my protest buddies from #teslatakedown and project some of our ongoing thoughts. #AbolishICE #ImpeachTrump #prosecuteDOGE @couragefordemocracy.com

The people have spoken!

I have signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge because I believe it’s time to get back to those founding principles. By limiting terms, we open the door for new leaders with real-world experience to bring their talents to the table. @ustermlimits.bsky.social

The horror and outrage over DOGE is one of the factors that led to me running for Congress, after spending so much time protesting through TeslaTakedown. The damage is devastating and unconstitutional. Let's bring every DOGE wrongdoer to justice! Vote Lava and join the fight!

I'm not sayin' we should lower the age to vote, i'm just sayin'

The God Show What a great podcast! Also discussed: Trump, impeachment, Elon Musk, Epstein, housing affordability, California politics, Star Wars, The Phantom Menace, and why Democrats need to stop punching twice and crying about their fingers. Full episode youtu.be/5X30JK2HXzk?...

I took a pledge to a #AbolishICE #abolishicepledge

Jungle primary beware!!!! Let's get 2 Dems on the ballot!

@sonsofliberty.bsky.social Thank you @politicaldrain.bsky.social for having me on!

My thoughts on the recent shooting at the Mosque in San Diego, and what i'm doing about it.

LA FILM PRODUCTION - the difference between me and Congresswoman Friedman.

My thoughts on Israel, specific to Gaza.

As a congressional candidate, I stand with Senator Mark Kelly and the Military 6 - by saying the same speech that landed them in (uneccessary) hot water.

The momentum is real! Sign up at our campaign site to volunteer!

I call on all candidates, and all Californians, to support SB 995 also known as Masuma Khan Justice Act! #iceout @nocampsca.bsky.social

I had a great discussion of politics and my campaign on the amazingly named CONTRABAND WAGON podcast. Check out their pod on substack: willfullwood.substack.com/p/conversati...

THE LAVA DIFFERENCE The Mess at Park La Brea : Everything is in disrepair. Mold, rodents, buckling floor, and so much more. If I were Congressman, I would be using my megaphone to publicly call out the landlord by name, as a protector of my constituents.

A week ago, May 4th, there were rallies throughout California to call for the dismantling of the ICE "concentration camps" - a term we say when people are held indefinitely without due process. Thank you to the organizers of this event in Van Nuys. #AbolishICE #ImpeachTrump #iceout #nocamps

Here's more footage from our protest against ICE and for worker's and immigrant rights. Thank you to @cbsla for the interview! #AbolishICE #ImpeachTrump #ca30 #immigration

Quick comment on the terror of redisctricting! Pass the Fair Reoresentation Act!!!

I will hold monthly townhalls. I will hold Washington accountable, and I need my constituents to hold me accountable!!! #fight&unite #ca30 #accountability #townhall #caprimary

It was a pleasure to sit with Channel 5’s Andrew Callaghan to discuss my work as a TeslaTakedown leader and spokesman. You should really check out Ch5, it’s a leader of the new breed of excellent citizen journalism. #ch5 #teslatakedown #doge #musk youtube.com/shorts/M301B...

On MayDay - Friday May 1st - there were marches and demonstrations for workers rights and immigrant rights. More than ever, those 2 issues are intertwined. I went to the rally in Downtown LA to continue to shed light on ICE abuses, and coordination between LAPD and ICE.
