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.

* Prioritize self-care.

Too often, survivors of domestic violence are dismissed in court because they don’t “fit” someone’s idea of how a victim should act. Justice cannot depend on stereotypes — we must rethink what credibility means.

Happy Friday! Legal Aid not only provides free legal help — we also educate and empower our clients to understand the process as well as their rights
