MASSIVE WIN! 👏🏽🎉✊🏽 Shouts to the tenants who lead from experiences - often painful ones - so that we all stand a better chance at keeping our homes!
Victory! Today @LACountyBOS passed a motion to codify Right to Counsel in unincorporated areas of LA County by FY 2024-2025. It also calls for expansion of @stayhousedla for universal access to incorporated cities and unincorporated areas by 2030. When we fight, we win!

This court decision comes after a lawsuit filed in December 2022 by street vendors and a coalition of community groups—@cpcolectivo, @elaccorg, @inclusivaction, represented by @public_counsel and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP— to end the city’s “no-vending zones."

We are committed to ensuring that the City of LA acknowledges that street vendors are part of the economic, social, and cultural fabric of Los Angeles and deserve the same economic opportunity as other small businesses in the city.

These no-vending zones violate the 2018 state law, harm vendors by excluding them from lucrative retail locations, and make vendors the target of aggressive enforcement and harassment by StreetsLA.
