Here it is! In a nutshell - why funding legal aid at the federal level is such a smart move. Former #Michigan representative, Fred Upton, is one of the authors of this article. #LegalAidMatters #LSCMatters
Don’t miss this powerful op-ed by former members of Congress—Democrats and Republicans—making the case for why funding LSC is essential.
