Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman will lose her spot as chair of the City Council’s Housing and Homelessness Committee, she confirmed in a campaign video Monday. Raman, who is running for mayor, claims her removal is politically motivated.
Why it matters: Raman is running against incumbent L.A. Mayor Karen Bass in the November election. The councilmember has been chair of the Housing and Homeless Committee since 2023, where she’s had considerable power and responsibility.
Why now: The California Post reported that L.A. City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawsonis planning to announce this week that the city will split the committee into two parts — one on housing, the other on homelessness — neither of which will be led by Raman. Harris-Dawson, a longtime political ally of Bass, represents a large portion of South Los Angeles. He did not immediately respond to LAist’s inquiry late Monday.
Raman's reaction: Raman said in the campaign ad the move was a political attack. “I called for an audit of our homelessness programs in Los Angeles, and now I’ve been removed as Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee,” Raman said. “I might be getting punished for running against Mayor Bass, but Angelenos are the ones paying the price for these political games.”

Long Beach may soon be leading the charge to regulate social media. A watershed bill proposed by the city’s state assemblymember is expected to soon become law in California, prohibiting social media platforms from providing addictive features to kids under age 16.
Why now: The California legislature on Monday unanimously passed the bill, which will now head to the desk of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has previously expressed support. “I’m very optimistic that this bill will get signed into law,” said Democratic Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal, the bill’s author.
Why it matters: If passed, the legislation would go into effect in January 2027 and prohibit young users from accessing social media platforms that include addictive features — including infinite scroll, autoplay, algorithms and notifications — and authorize the state attorney general to implement and enforce the restrictions. It represents a massive step for the nation’s most populous state, which has led the charge on tech policy, experts say, and where concerns about the harms of youth screen time have mounted.

It represents a massive step for the nation’s most populous state, which has led the charge on tech policy, experts say, and where concerns about the harms of youth screen time have mounted.
The ban would apply to social platforms heavily used by young people, including Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube. Platforms can become “good actors” and continue offering services to young people if they remove addictive features, Lowenthal said.
Yet because these and other platforms continue to evolve, the bill establishes an independent advisory commission to continue monitoring platforms and the features they offer to children.
Age-gating has raised privacy concerns because it could require the collection of sensitive information that may lead to the loss of anonymity on the internet, yet Lowenthal said the bill would leverage existing law that allows for verification on the device level, meaning in most cases, users won’t have to present government-issued identification.
The bill has also elicited fears about infringement on First Amendment rights, given that young people are constitutionally entitled to speak and access speech on social media. But Lowenthal said “this is a public health crisis” that must take precedence. That priority is bolstered by the American Academy of Pediatrics’ support of the bill, he said.
“Young people are allowed to ride bicycles and skateboards just like adults, but they’re required to wear helmets because of the unique developmental concerns,” he said. “This is no different.”
Previous court rulings in New Mexico and Los Angeles, as well as a recent settlement that required Meta to pay $17.1 billion, were a start but don’t go far enough, Lowenthal said. State Attorney General Rob Bonta, who co-led the case against Meta, referred to the settlement as “a floor conceptually, not a ceiling,” CNBC reported.
Lowenthal aims to go further, and his bill has elicited widespread bipartisan support, which he attributed to leading as parents before policymakers.
Since the bill was first introduced, Lowenthal said he’s observed a sea change throughout California, the country and world. “Families want relief” from the platforms that many children report using for nearly five hours a day, he said. “They’re unwilling to tolerate the status quo, and AB 1709 gets to the heart of the matter.”

A recently expanded eligibility map determines who can get recovery assistance after the Lineage warehouse fire — from free air purifiers and masks to grocery vouchers and utility assistance.
But not everyone qualifies for the same support, and help depends on where you live.
The map is used by Lineage, as well as by some outside agencies, and was recently expanded to cover a larger part of unincorporated East L.A.
Here’s a breakdown of the boundaries and what is available in each zone.
What are the boundaries?
The map covers households located between Union Pacific Avenue and the 5 Freeway, Los Palos Street and Herbert Avenue; all less than one mile from the Lineage warehouse.
Lineage says there are 797 households located within this area.
What support do people living within the boundary qualify for?
Here’s a list of resources offered by Lineage, as well as what the city, county and other agencies are doing for residents living in these areas.
Zone 1 (Between Los Palos and Indiana Streets):
Housing vouchers for short-term hotel rentals through Airbnb
Grocery vouchers redeemable at Food4Less and Kroger
Air purifiers, air conditioning units and N95 masks
Bottled water
Fly traps
$200 utility credit through the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
Cash assistance
Zone 2 (Between Indiana Street and Hicks Avenue):
Housing vouchers for short-term hotel rentals through Airbnb
Grocery vouchers redeemable at Food4Less and Kroger
Air purifiers, air conditioning units and N95 masks
Bottled water
Fly traps
$200 utility credit through Southern California Edison (SCE)
Cash assistance
Zone 3 (Between Hicks and Herbert Avenues):
Housing vouchers for short-term hotel rentals through Airbnb
Grocery vouchers redeemable at Food4Less and Kroger
Air purifiers, air conditioning units and N95 masks
Bottled water
Fly traps
$200 utility credit through SCE
Who created the map?

The map’s origin dates back to the first few weeks of the fire. On July 9, Lineage announced a new wave of support at a community town hall held at Stevenson Middle School that included temporary housing, grocery vouchers and cash assistance.
The next day, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass announced that 211LA and Airbnb had partnered up to provide temporary housing for residents and shared the map of qualifying households, which Lineage later designated Zone 1 and 2.
The map was extended last month to cover a larger part of East L.A. after L.A. County Supervisor Hilda Solis pushed for more support, according to her office.
Solis advocated for more support for East L.A. after the unincorporated community was initially left out of utility assistance credits that were provided to Boyle Heights customers in July.
Officials have given conflicting answers when asked by Boyle Heights Beat about who created the map and determined which households would receive assistance.
According to Lineage, the area was designated by the city and county. However, supervisor Solis’ office told The Beat that they had no say in the original map but advocated for the area to be extended.
Both 211LA and the city’s Community Investment Department said they did not create the map. Abigail Marquez, general manager of the Community Investment Department, said her office used existing maps developed by the city’s Emergency Management Department. The Emergency Management Department did not respond to an inquiry about the map’s origin.
How has support been provided?
Lineage says it has conducted five rounds of door-to-door outreach to the 797 households identified within the boundary since the fire began. As of Aug. 25, Lineage said it had successfully made contact with 718 households to provide the support outlined.
“For households where residents were not home, teams left information on how to access available assistance through Lineage’s community support line and made repeated attempts to reach them,” a Lineage spokesperson told The Beat.
According to Lineage, community assistance provided as of last week includes 613 air purifiers, 669 portable air-conditioning units, 599 N95 masks, 638 cases of bottled water, 1,223 grocery vouchers and 1,989 fly traps.
Residents living near the warehouse can request direct support from Lineage using their online form. The form notes that Lineage support is only available for households located between Los Palos Street and South Herbert Avenue and between the I-5 and Union Pacific Avenue.
Lineage can also be reached by emailing boyleheights@onelineage.com or calling (866) 317-1115 for bilingual assistance.
I live outside of the boundary. Where can I get support?
While not all residents impacted by the fire qualify for direct support from Lineage, there are still opportunities to receive resources and information, including:

The backstory: The saying goes, "It takes a village to raise a child," and parents in Inglewood and South LA took that seriously. About 30 families banded together to create a parent co-op to support one another through the ebbs and flows of parenthood, while also creating an enriching space to raise their children together. In just one year, the group has nearly tripled — and officially became a non-profit organization, Earthseed Village.
What the parent co-op's like: Earthseed Village stops short of traditional childcare. However, this tight-knit community has also naturally led to help with childcare and a network of support beyond that. The co-op is a combination of parent-led enrichment classes for children and adults, a homeschool collective that includes families with older school-age children and a built-in network for shared parenting.
Read on... to learn why families have joined the co-op — despite how "crunchy" it may sound.
On a sunny Friday afternoon at Blair Hills Park in Culver City, toddlers darted across a basketball court, waving colorful bold scarves and dancing to a children’s song.
They ended the activity with a resounding chant: “My feelings matter! Yes, they do!”
For these children, it’s a typical Friday. For the parents, it’s the village they created — a parent co-op where families take care of their kids together.
“ I'm gonna be quite honest, I thought it was the crunchiest thing ever,” said dad Cy Merriex-Isaacs. When he and his wife, Justice Isaacs, heard about the co-op, they were at a crossroads. The father of a 3-year-old daughter had been laid off from his job and became a stay-at-home dad while Isaacs continued working. The cost of childcare was a major part of that decision.
So, they wanted to build a parent community that they could find support in. “ ... That's when we realized there are a bunch of Black and brown folks who are looking for the same thing,” Merriex-Isaacs said.
Jade Smith was one of those parents. As a single mom raising a toddler, she was desperately craving support.
She put a callout to a WhatsApp group, made up of those she met at the local library and Mommy and Me yoga classes she taught, inviting families to essentially start a parent co-op.
Twelve families immediately said yes, and it has has nearly tripled since last year — officially becoming Earthseed Village, an Inglewood-based non-profit organization.
It was important for Smith to create a space where families like hers could access childcare without breaking the bank — and above all, where their children could be around trusted adults.

Earthseed Village stops short of traditional childcare. However, this tight-knit community has also naturally led to help with childcare and a network of support beyond that. The co-op is a combination of parent-led enrichment classes for children and adults, a homeschool collective that includes families with older school-age children and a built-in network for shared parenting.
Smith said she’s been able to rely on other parents in the group to take care of her son when she needs help. “Before this, I was exhausted all the time, I was in survival mode, and now my son has other adults that he can rely on, that I can rely on,” said Smith.
"We're really having to reimagine what childcare looks like because it's so expensive. It's becoming really inaccessible,” said Smith.
Parents build a program that works for them
Parent co-ops aren’t new — there are approximately 300 in California, according to E. Kim Coontz, the executive director of the California Center for Cooperative Development. Their hallmark attribute is giving parents and caregivers full autonomy to operate and design a program that fits their needs and share responsibility, Coontz said.
They all look different. Some are more informal babysitting arrangements between families, while others are fully structured educational programs that families run together, down to the administration, curriculum and policies. Most of them are generally lower cost than traditional private child care.
Earthseed Village’s weekly programming doesn’t exactly emulate traditional drop-off childcare. Parents must stay with their children during the gatherings, although sometimes extended family or nannies will accompany the children. (It recently opened a tuition-based nature school that does allow parents to drop off their children, but it’s separate from the co-op.)
Families who come to the program might be single parents, stay-at-home parents, or those who work remotely or hybrid.
Above all, Smith said it aims to be a “holistic learning community” where children and parents can explore, learn and grow together. She stressed that the goal is to prioritize the well-being of the entire family. In practice, it’s most evident during their outing at Blair Hills Park.

Koquis Moore, also known as Mama Koquis, leads the empowerment dances. After the children finished their program, she taught the mothers a dance class that Ekene Anene, mom to three daughters under the age of 7, dubbed the “Hot Mama Dance.”
The kids gallivanted around the playground supervised while the moms laughed and memorized their moves under the afternoon sun to Kanye West’s high-tempo song, “The New Workout Plan.”
As much as the co-op provides a safe space for kids to have fun, it tries to do the same for their parents.
How their parent co-op works
Earthseed Village has an expectation that everyone chips in one way or another and that families attend at least one weekly event.
Each family fills out a survey indicating how they’d like to contribute to the collective. Parents can host an activity for both the kids and adults, provide administrative support, or donate materials.
Their contributions shape the weekly programming, including yoga and sound baths on Mondays, math and movement on Tuesdays, and empowerment dances on Fridays. Past events included sewing, photography, and cooking classes. Most sessions take place at parks and public spaces.
There's a membership fee, ranging from $35-$55 per month, which pays for administrative support.

Coontz of the California Center for Cooperative Development emphasized the high quality of care that parent co-ops can also provide within the childcare ecosystem. “I think a lot of times we discount what parents are capable of doing,” she said.
The co-op is made up of diverse families mainly based in Inglewood and South L.A., although some come from as far as the Valley, Silver Lake, Torrance and Compton.
“I've seen a lot of co-ops and alternative learning educational models, but they don't tend to reflect diversity or multicultural backgrounds,” Smith said. “That was a big driving force of why I wanted to create [this] group, 'cause I just wasn't seeing it ... I want my son to be in spaces that he sees himself in.”
The 'hidden' support the group offers
Cy Merriex and his wife were one of the original members of Earthseed Village. They became friends with Jade Smith after meeting her at the local library.

Merriex-Isaacs, Earthseed Village’s “kid wrangler,” never expected to be part of a parent co-op.
He said it's the “hidden” support they provide one another — families picking each other up from the airport, giving someone soup when their family is sick or something as simple as sharing a loaf of bread.
It’s a “We got you” mentality that makes it a village, he said.

Alison Williams, a teacher by trade, struggled to balance work and home life as a new parent. She decided to become a stay-at-home mom while her husband worked.
She heard about Earthseed Village through parent friends.
Williams grew up in a co-op, and her mom often talked to her about the importance of parent involvement and community.
Since joining in January, Williams said she’s appreciated being surrounded by parents who are in the same chapter as her, from potty training and sleep struggles to getting their children to eat their vegetables.
“It's definitely a partnership, and it allows you to have both some autonomy and voice but also don't have to take on all of the responsibility. It's a way of finding like-minded folks and then trusting that together you can figure out and create the kind of village that you want for your kids," said Williams.
Founder Jade Smith said she hopes the collective helps make the day-to-day of raising a family a little bit easier.
“As a single mom, creating community has been literally a lifeline for me,” Smith said. But she believes it’s bigger than her own family. “It just feels like we're creating a legacy.”
