Consumer debt can be unjust. Court procedures favor creditors. People who allegedly owe money can wind up w/life-changing penalties not "right-sized" to their alleged debt. Resolve unjust debt & debt harassment using @LIFTWisconsin's Legal Tune Up Tool! legaltuneup.org/
#FridayFact: 11% of Wisconsinites have medical debt in collections.
LegalTuneUp.org's consumer debt tool is a free, online, DIY help to address debt and end debt harassment.

The Economic Justice Institute houses the UW Law School’s civil, anti-poverty legal clinics. By giving to the institute, you help people who can't afford attorneys pursue fair legal resolutions under the law - as anyone should be able to do. buff.ly/40XC1p8

Nearly 300 Wisconsin lawyers donated 14,800 hours of pro bono service in 2022.🫶 Yet legal needs in the Badger State still go unmet. We are encouraging lawyers and law students this week – National Pro Bono Week – to volunteer. Volunteering perpetuates a cycle of generosity and ensures that access to justice isn't just a wish, it’s the cornerstone of our legal system. Thank you!🙏

Wisconsin, we need you! Contact your legislators now. Ask them to fund civil legal aid on *Thursday*. Without it, people can't get help they need to navigate the legal system. Every $1 invested in returns $8.40 to economy. Use "Who Are My Legislators?": buff.ly/3siCNep
