As Karen Bass faces Nithya Raman, Black Los Angeles weighs political representation, unmet expectations, and the future of Black power in the city. In the mayoral race in Los Angeles, incumbent Karen Bass and challenger Nithya Raman are in the final weeks of the campaign. Despite some Black activists and concerned citizens expressing dissatisfaction with Bass's lack of attention to Black communities, Bass has been endorsed by a wide range of Black organizations, ministers, elected officials, and grassroots leaders. Raman, who is also of Indian descent and Muslim, is seeking to represent a coalition advocating for affordability and services across racial and political lines. Despite this, Bass's victory in the 2010 election was seen as a boost for Black equity and a sign of resistance to anti-blackness by President Donald Trump. Bass has also become part of a larger fight against the anti-Blackness of the anti/blackness of Trump, who continually criticizes Black women and California leaders.
