Summer of Justice 2000

Summer of Justice 2000, the Equal Justice Coalition’s effort to increase public support for civil legal services in Washington, hits the road on May 18, 2000. Summer of Justice staff and volunteers are traveling to communities around the state to promote public support for, and awareness about, civil equal justice. Specific activities include:

• Distributing self-help legal materials at community events;

• Sponsoring free legal clinics at locations around the state;

• Co-hosting open houses and information fairs at community action agencies and clinics;

• Connecting legislators and reporters with community members concerned about equal justice;

• Supporting fundraisers for programs that provide legal services to low-income people;

• Coalition-building with other organizations that have a stake in access to justice.

It is not too late to be a part of this innovative public outreach campaign that celebrates the role that equal justice plays in all of our communities. For more information, call Erin Hyppa or Caitlin Davis Carlson at 206-447-9168.
