With a national shortage of legal aid attorneys and as COVID-19 funding expires, rental income assistance flat lines, and eviction moratoriums are coming to an end, those most at risk are in crisis.
Movement Lawyering is a unique community centered approach to social justice that empowers those most affected by laws and policies. Movement Lawyering strategies focus on improving community outcomes for all:
- Building collective power instead of focusing solely on individual case outcomes.
- Re-imagining the legal landscape and cultivating new ways to utilize it.
- Building legal infrastructure to support grassroots-led organizing.
