More than a month into the fires, LA County is finally voting on some eviction protections. Join us on Tuesday at 500 W Temple at noon and/or submit public comment and send emails today!

Each month we host a session for tenant organizers who are trying to strengthen their unions. It's best when people commit to coming over months and participate as they experiment in their groups - not intended for people who haven't yet started organizing. Join us on Sunday, March 2!
