Like you, we have been doing our best to stay on top of executive orders and other developments coming from the new federal administration. We know it can be very difficult to cut through the noise, so we have started this live page to compile the latest resources relevant to the legal aid community.
We are committed to sharing relevant news in a way that is helpful, and are engaging in plenty of internal and external conversations about the best way to approach this.
If you have any questions, ideas, or resources you’d like to share, please reach out to Katy Burnett (kburnett@laaconline.org).
