I proudly serve as Board Chair of @probono! The lawhelp program is an important resource to those who need to access the justice system.
Thank you @usnews & @geoffw for highlighting free and low-cost legal help resources, including our LawHelp.org program. Our justice system should work for everyone, not just those who can afford to hire a lawyer. #accesstojustice bit.ly/44EwkNr
