"Movement lawyering is about using the law equitably and with integrity. It means that the problems and solutions we work on are informed by those most impacted. It is really about sharing and building power and keeping our ears to the community so that we can continue to advocate for laws that positively impact and reflect their needs.“ – Read this interview by Akonadi Foundation with our Executive Director Jennifer Rodriguez on the Youth Law Center's work transforming #fostercare and #juvenilejustice systems through youth-led solutions: https://lnkd.in/eZeddie7
