MY GRANDMOTHER WENT TO COURT ALONE.

No attorney. No advocate. No one to explain the system to her. Juanita Mary Mitchell walked into a Los Angeles dependency courtroom by herself and fought to keep her grandchildren together. She won — not because the law protected her, but because she refused to let the system win.

Her husband Willis built a home in South Central Los Angeles in 1952. Four generations later, that compound is worth over $1.2 million — and the family home is still there providing shelter to four generations.

I am their granddaughter. My name is LaTasha Richardson. I went to law school at night to build the laws that should have protected them — and every family like theirs.

WHAT IS ONE ROOF?

ONE ROOF is the first documentary-legislation hybrid in California history. A documentary film and a 13-cause labor rights legislative framework — built simultaneously, where the film is the public advocacy vehicle for real law submitted to the California Law Revision Commission.

I submitted 13 proposed laws to the California Law Revision Commission before I made a single public post. Before I called a single journalist. Before I asked anyone for anything. Because the record had to exist before the attention.

THE 13 LAWS ADDRESS:

► Ghost job fraud — companies posting jobs that don't exist to harvest your resume

► ATS algorithmic bias — algorithms rejecting you before a human sees your name

► 5 interviews, no hire — unpaid work extraction in the hiring process

► Layoff to foreclosure — no law connects your last paycheck to your front door

► The 10% survival penalty — charged when you touch your own retirement to survive a layoff

► Healthcare gaps — no coverage between the job you left and the job that hasn't started

► LinkedIn surveillance — employers watching your profile before you ever apply

► Multigenerational housing — no law protects the family equity you spent years building

► AI meeting surveillance — your words scored by algorithms without your consent

► Equity clawbacks — laid off the week before your stock vests

► PIP fraud — the performance plan that appears the day after you speak up

HOW YOUR DONATION IS USED:

► Documentary production — cinematography, editing, post-production

► Legal research and CLRC submission materials

► ONE ROOF Academy — free worker education platform

► Worker Intelligence Registry — collecting the evidence that becomes law

► Outreach to legislators, press, and advocacy partners

ONE ROOF is a project of RichEd, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. EIN: 88-2548963. Your donation is tax-deductible.

Every dollar moves the movement forward. Even $1 helps.

**We chose California because California has a history of turning worker pain into protection — and what becomes law here has a way of becoming law everywhere.**
