有超15万美国民众请愿，希望洛杉矶市长可以立即辞职

据央视新闻相关报道，面对家园变成废墟，不少洛杉矶民众指责当地政府救灾不力，要求洛杉矶市市长立即辞职的呼声也越来越高。

根据请愿网站的数据，截至北京时间1月17日12时，有近15万人签名要求洛杉矶市长卡伦·巴斯立即辞职。

请愿书里写道，“在灾难性的火灾发生后，我们的城市陷入了危机。供水严重紧张，纳税人的数十亿资金分配不当或下落不明，还有很多生命逝去。家庭流离失所，房屋被毁，失去生计，但巴斯市长一直缺位，在选民受苦时出国，在民众最需要的时候也毫无领导力。”

以下是请愿书的原文。

Petition for the Immediate Recall of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass

请愿立即罢免洛杉矶市长凯伦·巴斯

We, the undersigned residents of Los Angeles and concerned citizens, urgently call for the immediate recall of Mayor Karen Bass due to her gross mismanagement and failure to effectively respond to the devastating 2025 fires in and around the city of Los Angeles.

我们，在请愿书上签名的洛杉矶居民和关心此事的公民，鉴于市长卡伦·巴斯因管理不善，未能有效应对2025年洛杉矶市内及周边发生的毁灭性火灾一事，我们紧急呼吁其立即辞去洛杉矶市市长一职。

In the wake of these catastrophic fires, our city has been left in crisis. Water supplies have been severely strained, billions of taxpayer dollars have been misallocated or left unaccounted for, and countless lives have been lost. Families have been displaced, homes destroyed, and livelihoods shattered—yet Mayor Bass has been absent from the frontlines, choosing to travel abroad while her constituents suffer.

在这些灾难性的火灾发生之后，我们的城市陷入了危机。供水严重紧张，数十亿美元的纳税人资金分配不当或下落不明。无数人葬身于火海，许多家庭流离失所，房屋被毁，很多人被迫失去了生计。

然而，巴斯市长却没有出现在救灾前线，而是选择在她的选民遭受苦难时出国。

Despite the tireless efforts of our first responders, the city has been woefully unprepared to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents. Basic resources, such as water and emergency services, have been inadequate, and leadership has been nowhere to be found when it was needed most.

尽管我们的急救人员不知疲倦地努力，但这座城市仍然没有做好充分的准备来确保居民的安全和福祉。水和应急服务等基本资源一直不足，在最需要领导的时候却找不到领导。

We demand:

1. The immediate resignation of Mayor Karen Bass due to her failure to lead during this unprecedented crisis.

2. A full, transparent investigation into the failures in disaster preparedness, response, and resource allocation that left our city vulnerable.

3. Accountability for the mismanagement of taxpayer funds intended for disaster relief and recovery.

4. A comprehensive plan for ensuring the safety of all Angelenos in the face of future disasters.

我们要求：

1. 市长卡伦·巴斯立即辞职，因为她在这场前所未有的危机中未能发挥领导作用。

2. 对导致我们城市脆弱不堪的灾难准备、响应和资源分配方面的失败进行全面、透明的调查。

3. 对用于救灾和恢复的纳税人资金管理不善进行问责。

4. 制定全面计划，确保所有洛杉矶人在未来灾难面前的安全。

The people of Los Angeles deserve a leader who is present, accountable, and actively working to protect and serve our community. Mayor Bass's actions—or lack thereof—have shown she is unfit for the office she holds.

洛杉矶人民应该有一位在灾难来临时身处一线、负责任的、积极致力于保护和服务我们社区的领导人。巴斯市长的所作所为表明她不适合担任洛杉矶市市长一职。

We call on our fellow Angelenos and all concerned citizens to stand with us in holding Mayor Bass accountable. It is time for a change.

我们呼吁洛杉矶同胞和所有关心此事的公民与我们站在一起，要求巴斯市长承担责任。是时候做出改变了。
