Ysabel is a tenants’ rights attorney, affordable housing activist, single mother, and lifelong Highland Park resident who also brings impressive City Hall experience and policy+political savvy to her work. As the daughter of undocumented Filipino immigrants, she has fought tirelessly against tenant evictions and stood with community organizations and small businesses facing eviction. Her legal practice has focused on creating pathways to homeownership for communities of color, preserving open spaces, and advancing reparative justice.
She's running to unseat Councilmember Kevin De Leon who was infamously caught on tape as part of anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, anti-renter conversations. He's very beatable but he's spending nearly a million dollars through various funds he controls and he has an IE backing him.
So we formed this independent expenditure effort to help Ysabel prevail and give the 14th Council District the elected leadership it deserves!
