Join GLSP and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission this Thursday, October 24, at 12:00 for a FREE webinar about your employment rights.

Georgia lawyers: If you feel you need to do something to help Georgians who have been struggling to deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we have an opportunity for you to use your legal skills to provide advice and next steps to Georgians about their questions related to insurance process and claims, fallen tree issues, repair contracts, identity document replacements and other disaster-related questions. One callback takes about 30 minutes. And you can do it from your office. We have a training manual online and our staff pro bono lawyers can help you with any questions you may have. Right now, Georgians in 41 of our 159 counties affected by the disaster are confused, frustrated, and worried. Be a legal hero!
