● Crime is rampant and rising.

Los Angeles
START DATE: PENDING
END DATE:
SIGNATURES NEEDED: 27,000+
% = 15% of registered voters in District 4
Website: CD4 FOR CD4
RECALLEE: Nithya Raman
REASONS:
● Put PERSONAL HOMELESSNESS IDEOLOGY over constituent
safety.
● Enabled gang members to commit crimes–including drug trafficking,
robbery, brandishing and firing of guns and prostitutional extortion,
often in full view of families and children—while ignoring months of
pleas for safety from the citizens you were elected to serve.
● CHAOS AND LAWLESSNESS EVERYWHERE:
○ Refusal to acknowledge addiction and mental illness as root
causes of homelessness and wrongly insist the city can build its
way out of the crisis.
○ You and your staff are hostile and disruptive to LAW
ENFORCEMENT, advocating for LAPD defunding despite an
increase in dangerous crime and fires—often stemming from
homeless encampments—in your district.
● ABSENT:
○ You claim to encourage dialogue and transparency, yet you and
your staff have only superficially availed yourself to
constituents, abruptly abandoning meetings, refusing to answer
questions and chronically ignoring constituent meeting
requests, calls and emails.
○ You also routinely skirt the topic of PROTECTION OF
SINGLE-FAMILY ZONE NEIGHBORHOODS.
● We conclude you favor their destruction. You up-ended a decade of
constituents’ work when you unilaterally, with no input from the
citizens you purportedly represent, requested the City Planning
Commission increase building heights in district neighborhoods such
as Los Feliz.
● Finally, you refuse to disavow your alliance with the DEMOCRATIC
SOCIALISTS OF LOS ANGELES (DSA-LA), WHICH CLAIMS TO
“CO-GOVERN” WITH YOU, a group that proudly brandishes the
hammer and sickle, whose goals are to end capitalism and abolish
prisons and police. Your actions appear scripted by the DSA-LA and
its affiliates.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”black” border_width=”6″][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#0a0a0a”][vc_column_text]
