More than 2.9 million people would lose access to legal aid and the chance to resolve their problems, protect their families, and move forward if Legal Services Corporation funding is slashed by 46% as proposed by the House of Representatives. #LSCMatters @legalservicescorp.bsky.social

Domestic violence survivors are faced with many impossible choices, especially when there are children involved. Funding through the LSC allows our advocates to stand with survivors, every step of the way.

A $260 million cut to @legalservicescorp.bsky.social, proposed by the House, would mean nearly 3 million less Americans receiving vital legal help. That includes nearly 454,000 kids, almost 144,000 seniors, 20,000+ vets, & 94,000+ survivors of domestic violence.

Each year, around 75% of low-income Veteran households face a civil legal problem, and 84% of those don't receive any or enough help!
Funding through the LSC allows NLS to assist with sheltering, eviction, benefits, fair hearings, and more!

Legal services funding allows us to help families with adult disabled children, like Ryan, access the benefits they're entitled to, giving peace of mind that their child will be taken care of when they're gone.

Legal aid protects children, older Americans, families, veterans, and survivors of domestic violence. A 46% cut to Legal Services Corporation funding would deny thousands the help they deserve. #LSCMatters #LegalAidMatters

Here's what a slew of State Supreme Court Justices have to say about equal access to justice! We can't stress highly enough how vital LSC
@legalservicescorp.bsky.social funding is to serving clients at their times of greatest need.

Dictionary definition of "justice" highlighted, with silhouettes of people holding hands and scales of justice.
Our legal system is super complex - without representation, it's incredibly difficult for the average person to navigate and almost impossible to achieve equitable justice. LSC levels the playing field.
#LSCMatters #LegalAidMatters #NLSFightsBack
Florida Supreme Court Justice John Couriel puts it best: “It is a service without which our legal system could not operate. It is a service that we on our court value very, very highly.”
We’re proud to help ensure access to justice for individuals and families in our community.
#LSCMatters
From the bench to the community, state supreme court justices nationwide explain why civil legal aid is fundamental to a fair & just society.

Dark blue background, text reads, "What would cuts to LSC mean for our community? 4,179 fewer people would be helped with critical legal problems, including: 1,741 fewer children. 688 fewer older Americans.155 fewer veterans. 928 fewer people survivors of domestic violence."
Each year, LSC provides essential civil legal aid to millions of low-income Americans through local grantees such as Idaho Legal Aid Services. A 46% cut to LSC funding would result in layoffs, office closures, and thousands of Idahoans left to face life-altering legal challenges alone.

Knowing your rights is the first step to protecting them. Legal aid ensures everyone can access the information and guidance they need to stay safe, make informed decisions, and navigate the legal system with confidence.
