Christian Legal Aid of DC

Christian Legal Aid of DC (CLADC) challenges the legal community to engage the needs of the poor and needy of our city as a matter of justice, not charity.

True justice should be impartial and accessible to all, but too often justice is unattainable for those without the resources to afford an attorney. On May 9th, you can stand in the gap with us. https://t.co/unrAaVRyGl

Thank you @martensmatt1 and Lakuita Bittle for leading us in such an important discussion for last night's Faith & Law Lecture, and special thanks to all of our attendees for your thought-provoking questions and engagement.

One last reminder and invitation to join us tomorrow evening.

I’ve added remarks to my speech about the murders in Memphis last week.

And I’ll take questions from the crowd for about an hour.

When those in poverty need expensive legal aid, they hit a wall.

We give them a doorway: YOU.

We can provide free legal assistance to those who can't afford it because of donations from people like you.

Help us open more doors this year.

The one thing standing between many people and being homeless... is free legal aid.

Many people in poverty who are eligible to seal their criminal records can't afford it.
$1,500 is all that stands between them and a new start.

We helped Mr. B. seal his records so he could finally start a new life after 30 years. Learn more at https://t.co/qMB4DNKpIE.

It costs $1,500 to run a clinic offering free legal advice in DC.

Ms. D. found her late mother's will 6 years after she passed and was lost in the maze of paperwork. We helped her navigate the legal process to honor her mother's wishes. Learn more at https://t.co/qMB4DNKpIE.

How long does it take to get a new job when you have a criminal record?

For Mr. B, it was 30 YEARS... until we helped him seal his records.

We give free legal aid to people who can't afford it. Learn more at https://t.co/qMB4DNKpIE.

In DC, 1 in 25 people is a lawyer.

Do you know what happens when you get too many lawyers?

NOT ENOUGH. 1000s of people living in poverty can't afford legal representation.

Christian Legal Aid of DC is filling that gap with free legal aid.
