not be separating the Housing and Homelessness Committee and should keep Raman as Chair."
"Nithya has been actively practicing co-governance, working in tandem with tenants to pass transformative legislation, ike the tenant protections that, in the middle of the pandemic, actually kept people housed and prevented them from ending up on the streets," said Dorcia
ACCE Los Angeles leaders showed up in force on Tuesday to support CM Nithya Raman and oppose Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson's decision to split up Housing & Homelessness Committee and remove Raman as chair. We believe this looks like political punishment for Raman running for mayor.
While we fight to keep our heads above water paying for rent, healthcare, groceries and gas, billionaires are floating off our backs. Tax them. Having your basic needs like housing, healthcare, and a living wage shouldn’t feel like swimming against the tide. #PeopleOverBillionaires #TaxTheRich

VICTORY! The Los Angeles City Attorney just announced the first of its kind lawsuit under the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance! Tenants at units on Woodlawn Ave. and 43rd St. in south LA have been dealing with illegal harassment from their landlord in an effort to get them
For decades, Los Angeles has been told that giving developers more incentives will eventually solve the housing crisis. Meanwhile, rents have climbed, homelessness has increased, and working families continue to be priced out.
URGENT! Tell the LA City Council to reject ballot amendments that would reduce funding for affordable housing, tenant protections, and homelessness prevention. 📍 LA City Hall, Council Chambers 🗓 Wednesday, July 1 | ⏰ 8:30 AM Voters approved ULA. Now it's time to defend it. #ProtectULA

❌ You should not be asking: "How do I survive another price increase?" ✅ You should be asking: “Why are working people and taxpayers expected to absorb every crisis, while corporations continue making record profits?”
Inflation explains some price increases, not corporate price gouging. Companies often use moments of crisis (ex: wars, supply chain disruptions, economic uncertainty) to push prices even higher than their actual costs Working people and taxpayers end up paying the difference.
Corporate profits remain near historic highs in many industries. Oil companies post billions in profits during energy shocks. Corporate landlords continue raising rents. Utility corp. seek rate increases year after year. The people paying more are not the people benefiting!
In an interview, Donald Trump states: "I don't think about American's financial situation" So...where is this money going?
And it's getting worse. Inflation just rose at its fastest pace in three years. As Trump escalates war in Iran, corporations pass the costs onto us. We pay more for gas. More for food. More for everyday necessities, while they protect profits. www.theguardian.com/...
Is it you…Or is it Trump's economy?🧐 If life feels more expensive lately, you're not imagining it. 🧵 Here's why: 👇 👇
These slides show who big corporations are spending money to support and who they're spending money to defeat. While campaign donations don't tell the whole story, it's worth noting who big corporations think can advance or threaten their interests.

No one should have to struggle to pay their utility bills while corporate executives take home millions. While 1 in 5 Californians are behind on their bills, PG&E, Sempra and Edison’s CEOs are paid multi-million dollar salaries & are among the ten highest paid utility CEOs in the country 1/2
