A year ago, we took office and brought the community into City Hall. We still have so much work to do, but we've had some big wins in year one -- and our movement is just getting started.

We introduced a motion to LIMIT LAPD using projectiles at protests and to join most major cities like NYC and Boston in utilizing a “graded response” model during protests where heavily armed officers are kept in reserve and only used if the situation escalates to violence.

This position DOES NOT speak for the full City Council. The LAPD should NEVER be permitted to use force against journalists or anyone peacefully exercising their first amendment rights.

@caanet This is the closest we've been in 40 years to updating this system, and we need to see it through.  Visit @KeepLAHoused and https://t.co/eOOR6L8tK8 for info/updates and come to the Housing Committee TOMORROW to make your voice heard.

Now, the corporate landlord lobby is funneling energy to protect profits at the expense of working people. Groups like @caanet claim to champion small landlords, but they'll never mention that LA *already* allows landlords to apply for exemptions if they can’t afford the cap.

This isn't extreme. This isn't unreasonable. Many nearby cities already cap rent increases at 3%: ➡️ Santa Monica ➡️ West Hollywood ➡️ Cudahy ➡️ Santa Ana ➡️ LA County (base formula) ➡️ Huntington Park

A senior 1986 could pay $500 of their $600 Social Security check on rent. With inflation and our current system - their Social Security in 2020 would be $1,430, but their rent would be $1,610. That’s 112% of income going to rent. It's more than just unfair - it’s unsustainable.

Our current system was designed over 40 years ago and allows rent increases up to *10%* depending on the year and type of unit. Even when inflation is ZERO, landlords can still increase rents by 3%! That's the opposite of stable.

LA’s Housing & Homelessness Committee is meeting TOMORROW to consider capping rent increases at 3% for every rent-stabilized tenant in the city. This could determine the rent next year for you and and 1.1 million of your neighbors. (thread)

This is government censorship – pure and simple. When people in power can control what you say, there’s nothing they can’t do.

@nithyavraman @EunissesH @YsabelJuradoLA Each of us ran our campaigns in similar ways: No fancy consultants, no corporate money — powered by the people, our communities, and an unshakable commitment to making this city more responsive to working people. Visit https://t.co/OQg3TJuKnh to join the campaign.

@nithyavraman @EunissesH @YsabelJuradoLA Since Ysabel’s victory in 2024, we’ve expanded unarmed crisis response and passed a Living Wage that will give tourism workers guaranteed access to affordable healthcare and $30/hr by 2028.

@nithyavraman @EunissesH @YsabelJuradoLA In 2022, Eunisses and I grew the progressive bloc, which allowed us to pass the strongest package of renter protections LA has seen in a generation – and a Sanctuary City ordinance.

@nithyavraman @EunissesH @YsabelJuradoLA In 2020, Nithya shook the political establishment, creating a blueprint to win a better future for working Angelenos.

We’re proud to announce the endorsements of Nithya Raman, Eunisses Hernandez, and Ysabel Jurado.

Nurses stopping their speech going off stage to attend to a medical emergency in the crowd is just another reason to love our union nurses! Thank you @CaliforniaLabor Vice President Sandy Redding for putting people first!

The right to an attorney is a fundamental value that safeguards justice and ensures that no one, regardless of income, is left behind by the legal system. Thank you @HugoForCD13 for standing with us! And thank you to all of LA's public defenders for your dedication #GideonDay

Thank you Councilmember Padilla for honoring Salvadoran heritage today in your district, and thank you to the thousands of Salvadoran families who make LA so special. 🇸🇻 🇸🇻

Still, thousands Salvadorans have overcome tremendous obstacles to come to this city over the years, thrive here, and make LA their own.
