Christian Wrede, a prominent Traci Park donor and co-founder of Fight Back Venice, has played a central role in blocking affordable housing on the Westside. Wrede’s group spearheaded the opposition to the Venice Dell Community project, a supportive housing development aimed at helping unhoused Angelenos. Under Wrede’s leadership, Fight Back Venice circulated inflammatory mailers, spread fear about crime and public safety, and weaponized lawsuits to delay or derail the project. He used exclusionary and anti-poor tactics, including appeals to “neighborhood character,” property values, and tourism.
