Keep the spirit of Venice alive

Venice Unchained is dedicated to banning chain stores from Abbot Kinney and Ocean Front Walk. We boycotted the only chain store on Abbot Kinney and it has now closed. Our proposed ordinance is currently stalled at the L.A. City Planning Department. Sign the petition today so that through our numbers we can effect change.

We wish to preserve the character of our community and protect its economic vitality. Venice has largely been spared the formula retail blight that is homogenizing Main Streets across America. Together, let's keep Venice unique.
