ICYMI: LAS, alongside @CMPiSanchez and tenants from 1915 Billingsley Terrace, announced the Billingsley Structural Integrity Bill yesterday. The legislation would help hold negligent landlords accountable and more. legalaidnyc.org/news/law-impro…
It's #NationalMinorityHealthMonth, and the LAS Community Justice Unit is celebrating this weekend at the 1st Annual Wellness & Fitness Outdoor Public Health Fair. Come to the Hallets Cove Playground in Astoria this Saturday for free legal advice from the CJU team.
“To ACS, this is a revenue stream. But to each individual child, this is the difference between being able to get a wheelchair in the future and dealing with housing instability or not being able to afford and support their children through childcare.” imprintnews.org/top-stories/ar…
This weekend, LAS staff and @JumaaneWilliams attended "Grenfell: In the words of survivors." The play at @stannswarehouse features the words of the 2017 West London Grenfell Tower apartment fire survivors. The resilience of these survivors is incredibly inspiring.
.@ACSNYC must account for denying children in foster care the benefits to which they are entitled. Thank you, @A_StevensD16, for announcing a @NYCCouncil hearing over these cruel practices that harm our clients. nbcnewyork.com/news/city-hall…
"It’s going to be very hard for tenants without attorneys to navigate [NY's new housing laws],” said Ellen Davidson, Staff Attorney at The Legal Aid Society. gothamist.com/news/good-caus…
WATCH: For years, @ACSNYC has kept millions in benefits earmarked for children in foster care to pay for related costs. This is simply reprehensible, and ACS must take the necessary steps to make these young New Yorkers whole. nbcnewyork.com/news/evidence-…

@LegalAidNYC BIPOC, LGBTQ+ people; and people with disabilities continue to experience discrimination in the workplace. Today’s decision acknowledges employer acts like “lateral transfer” harm workers in violation of Title VII, said Rebecca Dixon, NELP’s President & CEO.
@LegalAidNYC The Court’s decision reinforces employees’ rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to be protected from discrimination at work. The Court recognizes that discrimination comes in many forms—including changes in working conditions without a showing of major economic harm.
NELP, in partnership with @LegalAidNYC, filed an amicus brief in the case. You can read it here: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/2…
🧵Yesterday, the Supreme Court clarified that #workers can hold their employers accountable when facing discrimination at work, including when an employer transfers an employee to a less desirable position—even if their pay rate stays the same.

This budget spends $0 getting people out of shelters, it guts #GoodCause, and raises rents on regulated apartments. This budget is a real estate giveaway. SHAME.
