As homelessness skyrockets in Los Angeles, with a reported 36,000 homeless people roaming around the city, a burgeoning movement is calling for the removal of Mayor Eric Garcetti.

A letter of intent was delivered to Garcetti that termed Los Angeles a death camp for the homeless and calling for Garcetti’s removal. One of the leaders in the effort to remove Garcetti, Alexandra Datig, stated, "We don't want any more excuses from this mayor. We want him to step down. We want him gone and we want leadership that is going to take care of this city. This city has become a death camp for the homeless," as NBC News reported. The group targeting Garcetti created a petitioncalling for his removal from office. For the petition to remove Garcetti from office to successfully trigger a recall election, it would need 300,000 signatures from registered voters.

Datig also created www.recallthelamayor.com, which offers information on homelessness.

As WRAL reported this week, “Figures released earlier this month showed a 16% jump in Los Angeles' homeless population over the last year, pegging it at 36,300 — the size of a small city. That's no surprise to anyone who lives or works downtown, where tents crowd sidewalks within sight of City Hall and the stench of urine fills the air.”

Datig said the homeless crisis has become “a state of emergency.” As The Los Angeles Times noted, Datig said on Wednesday, “He can’t handle the crisis. He needs to step down.”
