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.

Now we're being asked to believe that a 10-year ULA tax exemption, with no requirement to build a single affordable home, is the solution. We've tried trickle-down housing before. It didn't work then, and it won't work 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.

❌ 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?”

Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) @acceaction.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
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!
