The Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, along with more than 70 other organizations, has signed a joint statement from the Legal Aid Association of California (LAAC) encouraging all members of the legal profession to join us and other legal aid organizations in defending the integrity of our courts and the rights of all to equal justice under the law.
The Immigrant Legal Resource Center, a Legal Aid SMC partner (CRISP Collaborative and San Mateo County Removal Defense Collaborative) and Northern California nonprofit, was featured in the New York Times for their work distributing Red Cards.
Everyone in this country has certain rights, regardless of immigration status. Earlier this month, our LIBRE team met with San Mateo County Community Affairs and Faith in Action-Bay Area to present important information about immigrant rights, community resources, and the SMC Rapid Response Hotline.
