Watch the press conference highlighting the impact of Bill 9130, led by Sen. Ryan and Assembly sponsor Solages. Key speakers shed light on the importance of this legislation for our community. https://t.co/uPJq8zVwV4

[New York Legal Services Coalition @NYLSCoalition]

SB9130 has no fiscal implications, making it a clear win-win for justice and budget alike. Let’s champion this bill for equitable access to civil legal services. #SupportS9130 #ProtectIOLA

Those across the NY legal profession are alarmed by @GovKathyHochul's proposal to "sweep" to the general NY state budget $100M from IOLA, a fiduciary fund exclusively for civil legal aid, jeopardizing access to justice. NY lawyers, act now: https://t.co/mQht4hN69v #StopIOLAsweep

[VOLS - Volunteers of Legal Service @VOLSProBono]

The state must invest in legal aid so New Yorkers can access legal help for life’s essentials like housing, income stability & abuse prevention. Doing so will ensure liberty and justice for all and not just those who can afford it. @NYLSCoalition #LegalAidPayParity #StopIOLAsweep

[VOLS - Volunteers of Legal Service @VOLSProBono]

VOLS joins @NYSBA, The IOLA Fund, and other non-profit legal services organizations and calls to stop the proposed sweep of $100M from the IOLA Fund - a fund that supports life-changing civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers - to the State’s General Fund. #stopiolasweep
