Story
No matter what we look like, where we come from, or what we can afford, we all deserve access to justice, safety, and opportunity. For more than 50 years, Public Counsel has fought for a more equitable and just society. Thanks to your unwavering support, when confronted with the unique challenges of recent years, we did not let up. We supported and empowered thousands of families, small businesses, and nonprofits during a time of terrible uncertainty and loss.
This Giving Tuesday, please give the gift of justice and fund life-saving legal services and advocacy efforts. For our clients, having a lawyer can mean the difference between living on the street or in a home, between dropping out of high school or graduating, or between living in safety in the U.S. or being deported to a country where they may be persecuted by the government or murdered by a gang.
For a limited time, you can amplify the impact of your donation! In honor of Giving Tuesday, members of Public Counsel's Board of Directors have donated a matching gift of $60,000. This means that every dollar you give will be doubled up to that amount. Will you help us ensure that our communities have access to justice?
