Securing justice for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault
关于我们
The Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice (LACLJ) is located in East Los Angeles and has served the low-income residents of Los Angeles for almost 40 years. Our mission is to secure justice for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and empower them to create their own futures. LACLJ provides free legal representation, education and advocacy. Our services decrease homelessness, increase family stability and provide safe, violence-free homes for children. LACLJ believes that justice should not be determined by wealth, citizenship, language, or age. We focus on serving families in crisis and those who have the greatest barriers to accessing our judicial system. We help individuals face their adversity with the dignity that they deserve. We are unique among legal aid programs because we prioritize client-based services, focus on providing direct legal services by our staff attorneys, not volunteers, and we are able to serve individuals regardless of legal status or age. We offer a full range of services, including advice and counsel, preparation of legal documents, and representation in court. LACLJ’s clients live primarily in East, Northeast and Southeast Los Angeles. Poverty, high school drop-out rates, illiteracy rates, lack of health insurance, housing density, and levels of substandard housing are significantly higher in our service area than the statewide average. A large number of LACLJ’s clients are women, immigrants and monolingual Spanish speakers. Thirty percent of our clients have less than an 8th grade education, and 57% do not have a high school diploma.

It's more important than ever that you know your rights, especially if ICE confronts you. Here are some basic things to remember: ? Do NOT open your door. ICE can't enter unless they have a signed warrant. ? Inspect the warrant to ensure it was issued by a court and signed by a judge. ? Do NOT resist ICE agents if they enter. ? Voice that you want to speak with an attorney. ? Do NOT sign anything. ? Document the raid with photos, videos, or notes. Be specific with badge numbers.

Know your rights in every situation, whether at home, on the street, or at your job. If ICE shows up at your work: ? Have a plan ? Exercise your rights ? Do not separate from your coworkers ? Be mindful of discussing your immigration status at work ? Check for a signed warrant. Without a warrant, employers cannot provide employee records or allow ICE agents to enter non-public areas. #JusticeForAll #LegalAid #Advocacy #PolicyChange #SocialChange #MakingADifference #LA #LosAngeles #Immigration

Preparing your home is key to keeping your family safe during emergencies and power outages. One way to secure your home is by installing an energy storage system in case of a power outage so your home power will still run even if the grid power is disconnected. If you live in a high-risk area, you may qualify for incentives.
