Description:
DJ Larkin is a lawyer and campaigner with the Pivot Legal Society, a human rights organization grounded in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside that works on behalf of marginalized communities to create a just, fair and equal society through litigation, law reform, research and legal education.
DJ’s work focuses on litigating and researching the criminalization of homelessness, systems of housing that infringe the human rights of low-income renters, and housing policies and practices that put marginalized tenants at risk. She recently represented the BC/Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors against the City of Abbotsford in Abbotsford v Shantz, the Supreme Court of B.C. trial that recognized the rights of vulnerable homeless people to shelter in public spaces in the absence of safe alternatives.
