That’s helping drive the spread of student tenant unions.

Their utility bills skyrocketed, so they stopped paying them. Will the city change how these bills are calculated across LA?

The encampment grew into a safe haven for many who lost housing while escaping domestic violence or after COVID-related layoffs and evictions.
This thriving community created a jobs program, community garden, hot-water showers, a kitchen, and much more.

On March 24 and 25, 2021, Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell ordered the militarized eviction of the community that made Echo Park Lake their home for 18 months.
O'Farrell is gone, but the eviction's violent legacy of criminalization and displacement continues in his former district and beyond.

The Board of Supervisors passed a motion to raise the rent debt threshold in unincorporated areas and could extend protections countywide.

We showed up to demand county-wide protections, and in response Lindsey Horvath said she will introduce a motion, to be voted on next week, to raise the evictable rent debt threshold to 3 months' FMR for the entire county.
