LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 04:  Gates protect some allies that run along Western Avenue, an area where an elusive serial killer has been dumping bodies since 1985, on September 4, 2008 in the South Los Angeles neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California. Using DNA and ballistics analysis, police have linked a lone killer to at least 11 murder victims whose bodies were dumped near Western Avenue, mostly in alleys, over the past 23 years. Detectives are also investigating nearly three dozen addition cases with similarities to these slayings. With the exception of one male victim, the Grim Sleeper, as some reporters are calling the suspect, targets young black women whom he shoots and rapes. One woman, known as Victim Number 9, survived after the suspect shot then raped her before relenting to her plea to let her fall out of his car. Bullets removed from her chest matched a gun used on eight prior victims. $500,000 is being offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction.  (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

Together the coalition developed a Right to Counsel Proposal for the City and County of Los Angeles; is currently implementing an emergency eviction prevention program countywide; and continues to campaign for codified right to legal representation for all tenants facing eviction across Los Angeles.
