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

🎉 A major win for California’s low-income communities & utility justice. As California families face record-high electricity rates and over $3.5B in utility debt, we shouldn’t be punished with a power shutoff when dangerous heat puts lives at risk.

California rejected utilities' heat shutoff plan
Regulators said the state's biggest power companies didn't go far enough to protect customers during dangerous heat. Here's what changes now.

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.
Trickle Down
Housing 
DOESN'T WORK

The LA City Council is proposing a ballot measure that would give developers a 10 year ULA tax exemption, without requiring a single affordable home.

LA voters didn't pass Measure ULA to subsidize market-rate development.

LA City Council...
REJECT THE PROPOSED ULA BALLOT AMENDMENTS.

The increasing number of billionaires in every new release of the Epstein files are another reminder that billionaires shouldn't exist because they're immoral, exploitative hoarders and the world would be better if we abolished every one of them. Billionaires: the only minority destroying humanity.
