What an incredible team! What an amazing collaboration between @BetTzedek @IrellandManella and @PublicCounsel made today's #PACEClassActions possible. Together we will end #PredatoryPACE and return the #AmericanDream to our clients.

We didn’t know it at the time, but exactly one year ago today something happened that would define @BetTzedek ’s work for the next 365 days. What follows is a story of a community under attack, coming together, and finding new strength. youtube.com/watch?time_conti…

While we'd rather not be celebrating this anniversary, we are proud of the work we've done in the last 365 days to help immigrant families plan for an uncertain future. We remain ready to help all families in need. Have them call 323-939-0506 for assistance.

Great article in @AARP about #elderabuse tells the story of our client Ethel Simmons. Did you know that 90% of perpetrators of elder abuse fraud are known to their victims? Read and share widely. fw.to/aLnDyXC
2/2: Today I was reminded of the other part of the picture, folks like our finance team that helps issue checks to clients who can't afford filing fees, but who don't quite qualify for a fee waiver. Without them, we couldn't open the doors to justice for our clients. teapaw.org/BTProBono/status/94140…
1/2: Sometimes we forget that it takes a village...we have all these great attorneys and paralegals, for example, helping and serving our clients. But that's only part of the big picture.
Help spread the word: @BetTzedek has a Self-Help Elder Abuse Restraining Order Clinic to help litigants draft and file court documents related to elder abuse RO petitions. Full clinic calendar here: bettzedek.org/calendar/
Thank you @lathamwatkins for hosting yet another Employment Rights Pro Bono Training. Looking forward to placing cases with your team!
Friends, Bet Tzedek is hiring to help expand our work on behalf of immigrant children. A job posting can be found here: bettzedek.org/our-team/caree…. Help spread the word!
Going further down the #Smallbizz rabbit hole by learning about securities exemptions....
Thorny #smallbiz issue, with many aspects to consider: Should brick-and-mortar shops be able to veto sidewalk vendors? latimes.com/local/lanow/la-m…
So proud of our @EJW_org fellow Jordan Aiken, conducting a Legal Name and Gender Change Petition training for our friends at @lathamwatkins! Looking forward to working with the team at a future @BetTzedekClinic
And to be clear, I'm finding this #SmallBiz research super interesting. teapaw.org/BTProBono/status/92910…
Articles I never thought I'd be reading: "State of Small Business Lending: Credit Access During the Recovery and How Technology May Change the Game." Pretty far from my days as a family law attorney for teens!
There is something amazing about being near the front desk at 9 AM and watching the steady stream of volunteers coming through, ready to make a difference in the life a client in need.
Our thanks to the South Bay Bar Association for promoting @BetTzedek Long Beach Conservatorship Clinic volunteer opportunities! Be sure to DM @BetTzedekClinic to learn how you can volunteer!
Attending Women Empowered to Lead: WE Lead launch event at @JonesDay. Inspiring. Ready to take action.
I'll get working on that new handle! All joking aside, deeply honored by this privilege. Looking forward 2 serving community in new role! teapaw.org/BetTzedek/status/92762…
Looks like @BTProBono is going to need to get a new Twitter account. Congratulations to Diego Cartagena on being promoted to Vice President, Legal Programs @BetTzedek. bit.ly/2zlsbAP
