Building a Community of Yes for a More Equitable Los Angeles

Thursday, April 14, 6:00 p.m. Pacific time
Charles E. Young Grand Salon — Kerckhoff Hall on the UCLA campus

We know how to motivate people at the voting booth. Now, how do we keep the electorate engaged to achieve a greater L.A.? Hear from Nithya Raman, urban planner, working mother, immigrant to America, and member of the Los Angeles City Council representing District 4. Her priorities include delivering compassionate and effective services for people experiencing homelessness, building more affordable housing, and moving urgently to meet the city’s climate goals.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

Nithya Raman ran for City Council in 2019 and won a historic victory, becoming the first Asian-American woman and the first South Asian ever to serve on the City Council, and the first challenger in 17 years to defeat a sitting City Council member.

Since taking office, Raman has prioritized delivering compassionate and effective services for people experiencing homelessness, building more affordable housing, and moving with greater urgency to meet our city’s climate goals.

This event is part of the Urban Planning at 50 celebration at UCLA Luskin.
