LA New Liberals

A panel with pro-housing candidates on ways to move LA forward.

The LA New Liberals are a group of liberals dedicated to more housing, transportation, and immigration in Los Angeles.

The high cost of rent has made it difficult for ordinary Angelenos to afford to live in our great city. As newcomers and locals fight over a dwindling supply of homes, homelessness has skyrocketed and tents have cropped up on every corner.

The good news is that a new coalition of pro-housing advocates have cropped up in the past decade. Connected by the internet and united against the high cost of rent, the YIMBY movement has passed a number of important statewide bills in recent years. Now it's time to focus on LA's specific housing problems.

The LA New Liberals will be hosting several pro-housing city council candidates in order to discuss the difficulties of organizing around housing in LA, as well as opportunities for advocates to get involved.

Chelsea Byers is running for West Hollywood's City Council. She is a social impact strategist and community organizer with 17 years of experience leading programs and overseeing operations with nonprofits, grassroots and community organizations

Sarah Kate Levy ran in 2020 for City Council District 4 on a platform of housing, transit and trees. She now works as a fundraiser and communications consultant for political campaigns across California.

A third candidate will be announced soon.

Further details such as the location will be announced soon.
