As a consumer protection attorney, these are the types of fights I’ve won, from winning back wages for undocumented workers, to suing Meta with the CA DOJ for their harms against children. It’s time we bring this fight to City Hall, and give Angelenos the protection they deserve.

The consumer protection power of the LA City Attorney makes it possible to sue any business taking advantage of working Angelenos, like DoorDash, and deliver justice. LA can win victories just like NYC: recovered wages, ongoing monitoring of the business, and funding to sustain this work.

This victory — affirming that every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen — was driven not just by civil rights groups, but also the lawyers who fought this order from day one: Attorney General Rob Bonta and the SF City Attorney, whose office sued to prevent this order from ever taking effect.

The results are still early, but Angelenos sent a clear message in yesterday’s primary that they’re ready for a change, and for a City Attorney that fights for the people. This—the support at the polls, unseating a current incumbent—was possible because of the people power behind this campaign.

my favorite part of our conversation was when she talked about working with tenants/labor unions and grassroots orgs to build out cases around tenant harassment and wage theft


So the tenants rights unit that I want to start would have dedicated attorneys that are working on a range of issues: suing if landlords are violating our tenant anti-harassment ordinance, suing for unlawful evictions, suing for anti-competitive practices like price fixing and rent-fixing, as well as suing for illegal fees, withheld security deposits — the range of things that landlords do that negatively impact tenants and are illegal.

The way that we find these cases has to be always working with community. I’m really proud that every single case I have ever brought has been in coalition with community. I think so often the city attorney’s office feels very far away from us. But it is an office that should serve the people, so we need to build cases with the people. That means partnering with tenants rights organizations, tenants unions, canvassing tenants.

One of the best examples of this partnership that I have seen was — DSA has a very strong tenants organizing arm. They canvass buildings, they’re doing surveys and collecting such valuable data — that goes nowhere. In D.C., the attorney general actually partnered with DSA. DSA canvassed the buildings, got the surveys, asked the questions that were needed to help build the case, and turned over that data to the D.C. attorney general, who sued and won $41 million. That was the judgment against the landlord.

That is how I want to do this work: Leverage the incredible organizing that grassroots organizations and tenant unions have already been engaging in to build those into cases.

Lawyers are great at building the legal theories of litigating the case, but it’s the people on the ground who know their experiences, who can document and provide all of the fact-finding that’s necessary for us to build the case.It stems from the same theme of working with community organizations. My first case at the city attorney’s office was fighting the misclassification of truck drivers down at the Port of Los Angeles. I first read about this issue in USA Today, and I started investigating it the way that I have been taught in law school, which is looking at all the public databases and trying to research that way.

It wasn’t until we got connected with LAANE — the LA Alliance for a New Economy — and the Teamsters that they were able to provide thousands of boxes of documents. They knew the worst offenders at the port. They were the ones who had the trusted relationships with workers, so that workers could trust us in an interview. That lit the fire under our case and allowed us to build a really strong complaint that was ready for filing.

My favorite case I worked on in my entire career was a case against two car washes in the Silver Lake area that were paying undocumented workers as little as $4.50 an hour. Those workers, of course, knew that their rights were being violated, but were getting threatened with immigration consequences. And the thing that is so special about litigation brought by the city attorney is no one has to put their name on the lawsuit. It’s brought in the name of the people of the state of California. So it offers workers critical anonymity. We actually built that case with CLEAN Carwash, which is a workers rights center. We built this case with them providing so many of the facts that they have been documenting for years. And that case settled within less than a year, and provided workers with $10,000-$40,000 each in back pay.
