Nithya RamanEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Los Angeles mayoral candidate and Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman is acutely aware of what’s at stake as local Hollywood production craters — 42,000 jobs lost over two years between 2022 and 2024, shoot days down 50 percent below the five-year average. Many of her constituents in District 4, which stretches from the San Fernando Valley to the Santa Monica Mountains, work in the industry — and her husband, Vali Chandrasekaran, is a longtime writer and producer, with credits on television comedies like Modern Family , 30 Rock and Netflix’s The Four Seasons . Last week, Raman came by the Ankler offices for a conversation with Richard Rushfield about her plan to save the industry, as well as her thoughts about how we got here.

Nithya Raman is an urban planner, activist, and Los Angeles Council Member for the 4th District. Nithya was born in India and moved to the US as a child, where she later went on to study at Harvard University and get her master’s degree in urban planning at MIT. She ran for office for the first time at 38-years-old with no prior political experience, passionate about solving Los Angeles’ homeless crisis. She beat the incumbent and received the most votes of any L.A. council member ever - running a grassroots, door-to-door campaign that galvanized Angelenos to get involved in local elections.

Voter suppression is more common and insidious than you think - and the fact is, you've likely experienced it in one form or another. But there are ways to keep yourself from falling for tricks online and combat long lines at the polls. In this episode of Let's Get Into It, we're joined by urban planner, former executive director of Time's Up Entertainment and LA City Council candidate Nithya Raman, as well as voting rights activist Aaron Thompson. Nithya shows us the massive differences we can make in our everyday lives by voting for in local elections - we're talking how much you spend on your rent every month and other things that directly affect you. She also tackles why it matters where a candidate's money comes from, and why being angry can be a powerful tool. Aaron and Alex unpack the dark underbelly of voter suppression, why you might be a target, and how you may already have been impacted and not even know it.
