Contact your State Representatives: Take Action on Access to Justice Day

March 1, 2022

March 1st is Access to Justice Day! Join us to advocate for Maine’s investment in civil legal aid!

Civil legal aid refers to the work ILAP does everyday along with the other incredible legal aid providers around the state.

Maine currently has fewer than 2 legal aid attorneys per 10,000 low-income people, which falls far short of the Justice Index goal of 10 per 10,000. Now is the time to invest in civil legal aid so more people can get the legal help they need to thrive! Read more about the impact and importance of civil legal aid.

Maine legislators are considering legislation (LD 1326) that would help bridge the justice gap in Maine by investing in our state’s civil legal aid services.

Contact your state representatives to let them know you support civil legal aid and justice for all!
