Interns benefit from direct supervision by our Executive Director, a tenant rights attorney with extensive legislative experience, the opportunity to learn about legislative process and tenant rights, gain firsthand experience in legislative advocacy in Sacramento, and build connections with our community of tenants, advocates, and activists across the state.
