EP 589: Rev. Rae Huang On Faith, Housing, and the Future of Los Angeles

In this episode, we sit down with Rev. Rae Huang, a candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles who is looking to bridge the gap between grassroots activism and City Hall. As a Presbyterian minister and a seasoned organizer with Housing Now! CA, Rae brings a unique perspective to the race—one rooted in “the theology of the neighborhood.”

We dive deep into her personal journey as a daughter of Taiwanese immigrants and a single mother, exploring how those lived experiences fuel her “Housing for All” platform. Rae breaks down her vision for social housing, her plan for a Public Bank of Los Angeles, and what it would mean to lead the city as the first Asian American woman in the Mayor’s office.
