As Los Angeles prepares to choose its next mayor, this conversation asks an important question: Shouldn't we expect our leaders to speak up when human rights are under attack? Join Mayoral Candidate, Rae Huang, for a conversation with Alana Hadid, human rights activist, producer, and storyteller.

LA deserves a mayor who will fiercely protect its residents and combat the dangers related to public safety in the city. That means no cooperation with anybody that violates the rights of Angelenos. No tracking or surveillance. No LAPD assisting ICE.

Notable Contributions & Endorsements
Huang does not accept law enforcement, corporate, or PAC donations, and her campaign is entirely grassroots-funded.White background. Red Rae For LA logo. Background:
Rae Huang is an ordained Presbyterian minister and community organizer who has spent over 20 years building coalitions in Los Angeles. Through Housing NOW!, she led statewide campaigns that advanced tenant protections, including SB 567 and the nation-leading social housing study bill SB 555. She organized alongside workers through Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE) and helped launch the Healthy LA Coalition, which delivered pandemic relief to families left behind by federal programs. She supported the Baldwin Park campaign that replaced the city’s 20-year mayor and council members with candidates committed to defunding their police department in 2020. She also co-started Westside Vision, the coalition that identified and launched Faizah Malik’s race against Traci Park in CD-11. This is her first run for office.
White background. Red Rae For LA logo. Public Safety Platform:
La Defensa is proud to endorse Rae Huang for Mayor of Los Angeles. Huang takes an explicitly abolitionist and care-first approach to public safety, arguing that LAPD has “defunded all other aspects of city services.” She supports redirecting funds from LAPD to build a centralized Department of Community Safety, a citywide network of behavioral health stabilization centers, and an academy to train and hire people with lived experience of mental health and addiction challenges as outreach workers. She would pilot safe injection sites, expand unarmed crisis response teams throughout the city, and open neighborhood clinics.

We all love our Olympians, but decision-making around the Olympics shouldn't be a closed-door deal between developers, the IOC, and city insiders. Vote Rae Huang for LA Mayor for transparency and advocacy for LA residents during the Olympic Games.

Olympic stadium. Text: With billions of dollars on the line for Angelenos, we need a Public Olympic Budget DashboardBlue cloud background. Text:

LA28 can be transformative for Los Angeles. The Olympics infrastructure is already leading to new transit, new jobs, global attention, and funding for our city. This money could be allocated to 
* Olympic infrastructure investment in underserved neighborhoods
* Transit improvement that serve every day commuters year round - not just for tourists during the games 
* Small business support programs to help vendors thrive during the games
* Affordable housing protections to prevent displacement 
* Long-term community investment funded by Olympic revenue
This is the sort of Olympics that LA deserves - but this starts with knowing where our dollars are going. In other host cities - Olympic money has actually flowed away from residents and been pocketed by insiders, with policing surges, heavy displacement, cities left in crippling debt, and Olympic corruption. Past Olympic host cities (LA84, Salt Lake City, Rio, Tokyo) faced corruption scandals involving bribery, insider contracts, bid-rigging, or misuse of public funds. Not a single games since 1984 has turned a profit. 

Examples: Rio cost $20 billion, Sydney went 90% over budget. The City of LA agreed to cover the first $270 million in losses if the Games run over budget. If costs significantly exceed expectations, public agencies and taxpayers could end up absorbing additional financial burdens. And LA28’s budget has already grown substantially since the original bid process while key reimbursement and cost-sharing agreements with the city remain unaddressed. This would directly cost LA residents. 

Power belongs to the people - and we are more powerful than we realize! 📢✊🏽 We come together for the shared purpose of meeting our neighbors where they were at, informing them of a candidate fighting for them, and sharing compassion with a community that is experiencing the effects of ICE.

Our elders are the pillars of our communities, their hands helped build this city 🤲🏽❤️‍🔥 To protect our immigrant elders, like Vilma in East Hollywood, we need a mayor who will stand on the front lines and fiercely push back against anti-immigrant agendas in City Hall.

(1/2) I want to make clear right now that Spencer Pratt does not deserve any voice or sound bite in my Campaign or in this city that I love. His rhetoric,  platform and Campaign is the antithesis to who I am, who I am fighting for, and what our campaign is all about. I’m running a campaign to

LA wouldn’t run without its street vendors. Street vendors are a lifeline for lower income households trying to get the most out of their meals, and a crucial source of income for the vendors themselves.

Los Angeles works exactly as designed. The question is: who was it designed for? Angelenos know the answer. LA leaders have often put corporations before workers, families, and small businesses isn’t accidental. It’s a policy choice.

With only 6 days until the Primary Election, I put together a guide for the candidates I will be voting for come June 2nd. 🗳☑️ These leaders give me hope that TOGETHER we can build a more progressive world. ❤️‍🔥
