We, the tenants at 812 Guerrero, have been fighting our Ellis Act eviction by Google lawyer Jack Halprin for one year now. Join us as we deliver a petition with over 1,500 signatures to Google’s San Francisco office.
Join us to demand the eviction be rescinded and we be allowed to stay in our home and community.
Now is the time to make a stand. Google states that as a corporation, “We care about the communities where we live and work.” If so, how is that they are permitting their head of e-Discovery to evict two teachers, an artist, a three-year-old, a cab driver, and a woman with disabilities who have all shared a community at 812 Guerrero for years.

Skyrocketing San Francisco rents can spell displacement from the city for long time residents who must find new homes. For example, Susan, who lived in our building for nearly 20 years, was evicted first. Unable to afford an apartment in the city for her and her 9-year-old nephew, she was forced to move out of the city. Now, fighting to remain in our homes and our community are: Alex and Claudia (a taxi driver and public school teacher with a 3-year-old son), Becky (a therapist), Johnny (who works in support services), and Evan, a high school teacher. Our building was once a mini-community, diverse in ethnic and economic backgrounds, but like Susan, we will all face displacement from San Francisco if Jack Halprin succeeds in evicting us to create his personal mansion or to pocket millions.
Please bring friends and loved ones to this event- its important that we show support for the tenants facing eviction and everyone in San Francisco who is at risk of losing their home.
