Quick Summary

The Long Beach chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America issued a statement warning newly elected Los Angeles Mayor Nithya Raman to govern according to DSA’s radical agenda or face opposition from the group. The chapter claims Raman’s victory is partly due to DSA support but criticizes her for not fully committing to DSA priorities like tenant protections and non-police public safety measures. They are particularly concerned about her stance on police reform and her relationship with Israel, noting her recent promise to possibly retain LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell.

Story summary

The Long Beach chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) issued a warning to Nithya Raman, who recently won the Los Angeles mayoral race, stating they will "bring the fight" to her if she does not govern like a "true democratic socialist." The chapter criticized Raman for not doing enough to intervene in the city’s economic support for what they describe as a "genocidal apartheid state," likely referring to Israel, and for proposing reforms to the city’s mansion tax that they view as too favorable to developers. The DSA members expressed skepticism about Raman's commitment to their priorities, citing her record on Palestine, policing, and special interests as reasons for concern. The statement from the Long Beach DSA chapter reflects internal disagreements within the socialist movement regarding the direction and commitment of elected officials.
