About Us
Mission: 

The Eviction Defense Network (EDN) is a frontline movement-lawyering organization that defends Los Angeles’ low-income communities of color against gentrification and displacement through litigation, policy advocacy, and coalition-based organizing.

Why Work For Us?: 

Every EDN attorney gains more litigation experience in a few years that many other attorneys acquire after decades of practice. New staff also benefit from regular training, feedback, and support - including thrice weekly case review sessions. Combined with a hands-on education in movement lawyering and personal networks in Los Angeles’ activist community, EDN alumni acquire the experience to know what they want to do next, along with the skills to do it.
