PLEASE JOIN LARABA AND ADCCLA FOR A CD 14 CANDIDATE TOWN HALL
A Conversation With Ysabel Jurado
September 21st
5:30 to 7:00
RSVP on the image and ask Ysabel a question.
Ysabel Jurado is a tenants rights attorney, single mom, daughter of undocumented immigrants, lifelong long Angeleno, and candidate to become the next Councilmember for District 14. After knocking over 85,000 doors through grassroots efforts, Ysabel earned first place in a crowded primary election of 8 candidates, including the incumbent and two other seated elected officials.
Born and raised in Highland Park, she attended Pasadena City College and put herself through college at UCLA, where she completed her bachelor’s degree. After graduating, she went on to UCLA School of Law, where she graduated with a Juris Doctorate with specializations in Critical Race Studies and the David J. Epstein Program in Public Interest Law and Policy. She did it all while raising her daughter, Stella.
As a housing rights attorney, Ysabel fought to stop tenant evictions and stood side by side with community organizations and small businesses that were at risk of losing their leases. Her practice has focused in particular on building pathways to home-ownership for communities of color, the preservation of open space, and the decommodification of housing.
Ysabel is running for District 14 because she understands the immense powers the City Council holds in Los Angeles – and has watched local representatives betray her community time and again. Her platform focuses on increasing access to housing, ending homelessness, supporting small businesses, and building a more just economy for all. She has earned the endorsements of countless progressive organizations, unions, democratic clubs, and high profile elected officials – including the LA Democratic Party, the LA Federation of Labor, the Working Families Party, Councilmembers Eunisses Hernandez, Nithya Raman, and Hugo Soto Martinez, Speaker Emeritus Anthony Rendon, civil rights leader Dolores Huerta, LA Controller Kenneth Mejia, LA County Supervisor Hilda Solis, and more.
