Hi! I'm Janani Ramachandran and I'm running for California State Assembly in an August 31st special election. I am a social justice lawyer, activist, and artist who has devoted my life to empowering communities who have been failed by our existing systems. I am running for State Assembly in District 18 because of the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19, and worsening income inequality, environmental catastrophes, and racial injustices. These problems demand a fresh perspective from a leader who has been working directly with her communities for years. California doesn't need just another Democrat in Sacramento – we need a bold advocate who isn't bought by corporate interest groups and who will deliver real progressive change for Californians.

I'm running for State Assembly because California needs bold solutions now, starting with stronger statewide tenant protections, a $22/hour living wage and support for small businesses, ending qualified immunity for police who cause harm, investment into community alternative justice programs, a Green New Deal with a racial equity lens, and universal healthcare. I am also passionate about ensuring that we have a transparent and accountable government.

The establishment knows my election would be a huge threat to "business as usual" politics, where the rich get richer and working-class Californians suffer, which is why corporations have poured nearly $2 million into my opponent's campaign. I'm not taking a cent of corporate money, so the only way we can reach every voter and win this seat for the people of California's 18th Assembly District is with an army of passionate volunteers and supporters who are fed up with the status quo.

You can join our fight for justice by donating, volunteering, either virtually or at an in-person event, following me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, and talking about our campaign with anyone who you know who could help us win this race and bring about real, progressive change for the people of California. I look forward to answering your questions about my race!
