Lunch & Chat with EBCLC’s Housing Unit (WOCC+ x LSAD x La Alianza)

Today we co-hosted a lunch event with WOCC+ and LSAD to introduce law students to the East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC).  EBCLC’s connection to Berkeley Law runs deep, with its attorneys providing their expertise and mentorship to both the Tenants’ Rights Workshop (TRW) and eight of Berkeley Law’s 15 clinics!  Many Berkeley Law students go on to work at EBCLC after graduation.

We thank TRW for reaching out to plan this event. La Alianza is dedicated to giving back to its community, and we hope to see our members continue to work with EBCLC in the future!

Tenants’ Rights Workshop

The TRW SLP leaders present about what makes their SLP special and encouraged students to join them this year.

Native Land Acknowledgement


We take a moment to recognize that Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin) (Hoo-Choon), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-Chen-yo) speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma (Muh-wek-muh) Ohlone Tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona Band.

We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has benefited, and continues to benefit, from the use and occupation of this land since the institution's founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university's relationship to Native peoples. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold the University of California, Berkeley more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
