385 days ago, our landlord illegally locked us out. No court order. No eviction notice. $70,000+ of our property still inside. My grandmother's ashes too. Toxic mold gave me pneumonia. Legal aid wouldn't take the case. So we taught ourselves federal civil rights litigation. This month: filed a lis pendens on their property. They can't sell or refinance until they answer for it. Pro se. No attorney. No law degree. Just documentation and refusal to disappear. 1.5M Californians at risk of illegal lockout.* We're what happens when no one enforces the law. Case: Martin v.
