Dear Michel,

You’ve probably heard about the Law Center’s Resilient Communities Legal Cafes, our award-winning drop-in legal clinics that happen 3x each month in  East Bay cafes and community spaces. But can a Legal Cafe happen in a mid-sized town in Southwest Ohio,  where no one’s ever heard of it? Yes it can! Read the story of how Jacqueline Radebaugh, a Legal Fellow, launched a Legal Cafe in Dayton providing free legal support to community-entrepreneurs in her own town. 

Our work supports many rad lawyers like Jacqueline who are trying to remove the huge barriers that exist for community-based entrepreneurs! We’re growing a network and creating an entire ecosystem where community change-makers can afford to access social enterprise lawyers and resources. 

But we can’t keep expanding our impact without people like you. Support our #PeoplePoweredLaw Fundraising Campaign by becoming a monthly community member!  Don’t wait till later or for someone else -- your support is crucial to transforming the legal landscape right now for community-led solutions. 

Movements start in the street and thrive through the leadership in our communities. The Law Center works to make sure that big ideas in our movements are legally supported, giving them a lasting effect on today’s most pressing issues. To support these big ideas we need people-powered lawyers  advising our community entrepreneurs and change-makers. We want to live in a world where everyone has the legal support they need to come together and begin developing their own sustainable sources of food, housing, energy, jobs, and other vital aspects of a thriving people-powered community.

Your monthly contribution helps create that world where attorneys are available to empower just and resilient communities everywhere! Chip in what you can today.

Thank you for your support!
