2019
In 2019, our team helped restaurant workers win over $6 million in wage theft, defended California’s sanctuary state law against Trump administration lawsuits and stood up for communities’ right to vote. We advocated for pardons for Southeast Asian refugees and fought back against the Muslim and African bans.
Our Work
1999
In late 1999, the FBI arrested Dr. Wen Ho Lee, a mechanical engineer at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, and accused him of sharing secrets with the government of China. We argued against the FBI's discriminatory prosecution and he was finally freed, spurring community-led efforts that persist to this day.
Issues
1979
Seven years after setting up practice in Oakland, we stood with San Francisco Chinatown tenants fighting for safe public housing. Ping Yuen tenants organized a rent strike against the San Francisco Housing Authority. We helped tenants win repairs and improvements - and kicked off similar fights across the city.
