A powerful committee chaired by socialist wannabe LA mayor Nithya Raman has voted to hand over $6.6 million to a radical activist group that’s previously sued the City.
Los Angeles City Council’s Housing and Homeless Committee greenlit more than $177 million in homeless spending contracts – including the fresh multi-million-dollar payday for Strategic Actions for a Just Economy, better known as SAJE.
They want the LAPD abolished, the 2028 Olympics to be cancelled and to freeze rent. The $6.6 million in funding given to the SAJE comes despite the group having sued the City of Los Angeles over approvals for a luxury hotel project on public land, which lead to closed-door settlement talks in 2023.
The vote also comes after The California Post revealed a similarly aligned agenda of the Democratic Socialist’s of America, who support Raman, and want to seize private property, take control of local supermarkets and shut down jails.
The SAJE will use the money to fund “Protection from Tenant Harassment” outreach and education under the city’s Right to Counsel program and the voter-approved United to House LA homelessness prevention initiative.
Money to fund the payout comes largely from the voter-approved “mansion tax” on property sales over $5 million. Supporters claim the money will unleash billions in affordable housing construction and homelessness prevention.

Will L.A. replace the Cuban-trained Marxist guerrilla with this communist?
Will anybody really be surprised when the rest of L.A. burns to the ground?
Nithya bidness.
Marxist bad bunnies are running wild in the L.A. Jungle.
“Nithya Raman”
I’m sensing a trend of marxists politicians of Indian heritage getting into powerful positions in this country. Seven were elected to the House of Representatives in 2024.(all Rats) NY Mayor and a decent chance L.A.’s next mayor. That whack job in Seattle, Kshama Sawant, is running for Congress this year. I guess they will be happy when all of this country looks and smells like Mumbai.
