What happened in Alabama cannot stand.

Right To Counsel is absolutely essential for New Yorkers! Thank you @bradhoylman for your support to fully fund @RTCNYC #EvictionFreeNY @Met_Council
I’m calling for $260 million in this year’s budget to fund Right to Counsel. This money will ensure free legal representation for tens of thousands New Yorkers facing eviction and help right the imbalance of power in our court system! @RTCNYC #EvictionFreeNY

Trump lawyer: Now you're gonna tell me, "Mr. Gessler, you're making it up." And I'm going to say, "Well so did the judge." And I'll say, "We're all sort of making it up at the end of the day."
At last… A documentary about the one & only Albert Brooks.
