Councilmember Raman spoke at the 2026 Festival of Progressive Abundance!
About Nithya Raman
Councilmember Nithya Raman is a fearless champion for the people of Los Angeles.
She has focused her years in public service on creating an affordable, livable city and holding our City government accountable to deliver change.
As a working mom, she saw people struggling on our streets and decided to do something about it. She co-founded the SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition and began organizing her neighbors to provide direct help. But as the crisis grew, she realized volunteer efforts alone would never match the scale of the problem.
In 2020, Nithya ran for City Council as a complete outsider – no political machine, no insider backing. What followed was a grassroots movement: 2,000 volunteers knocked on over 80,000 doors, and she defeated a sitting councilmember for the first time in 17 years. The Los Angeles Times described it as “a political earthquake.”

Nithya Raman on Housing and Abundance
“This includes housing at all income levels, everything from deed-restricted affordable housing to market rate housing to social housing to homeless shelters.”
“This includes housing at all income levels, everything from deed-restricted affordable housing to market-rate housing to social housing to homeless shelters.”
“This is a burden that falls hardest on the same people every time: renters with children, renters of color, renters with disabilities, renters in low-income communities, older renters.”
