With the eviction moratorium expiring this week, we cannot allow more vulnerable renters to fall into homelessness. We're calling on @CAgovernor to sign @AsmJesseGabriel's eviction legal aid bill #AB1487 to fund legal services for tenants most at risk of eviction! #signAB1487

SO many #legalaid orgs do incredible work with VOCA funds! @fvap_law @FamilyVLC @hbcfl @LegalAidSoCal @SDVLP @LawFoundationSV @JDC_Probono It is important to protect those services from cuts. #SupportSurvivors
A6: These programs are a needed part of our social safety net, and by supporting survivors these programs benefit California’s communities – it’s essential for the state to protect them from cuts. #supportsurvivors
A6: As federal funds decline, and as #CABudget this year has significant revenue to work with, California must act now to preserve the social safety net for its citizens in need. #SupportSurvivors #LegalAid

A5: It is possible that 25% of the services funded by VOCA could be cut, with cuts starting in FY 2022-2023. This comes at a time when the need for services is rising. These cuts could mean staff reductions at #legalaid and fewer people served. #SupportSurvivors

A4: The #VOCAFix Act passed the House and is pending in the Senate. You can take action here: nnedv.org/take_action/urge-c… But even if this passes, it will take time for funds to reach service providers. That is why #CABudget leadership now is essential. #SupportSurvivors @nnedv

"It's a simple fact. Black and brown families are more likely to be evicted than white ones. There are many reasons for this, but the pandemic has made matters worse and could widen the gap for years to come." ow.ly/lXOy50DJWbM

Proud to re-establish the Bipartisan Congressional Access to Legal Aid Caucus with @RepBrianFitz. Every person deserves access to legal representation, and we hope to educate our colleagues on the importance of legal aid and fight for counsel for the most vulnerable Americans.
