The complete elimination of funding in the FY25 budget for the Office of the Ombudsperson for Children stands out starkly among several disappointing cuts by the Mayor. We can't balance a budget on the backs of our most vulnerable children. brianneknadeau.com/updates/update…
Great to support our friends for the 20th anniv. of the #LanguageAccessAct! Tune in today to hear our testimony of the @DCHumanRights budget, identifying what the office needs to improve accessibility for students + families w limited English proficiency. ow.ly/bCtO50Rphrf
Join us in honoring our 2023 Champions for Children! Thanks to our generous legal and corporate partners, we can strengthen families and ensure more positive health and education outcomes for children. #C4C childrenslawcenter.org/champions-chil…
We see every day the impact our #AccesstoJustice Initiative funds have on improving a child's family, health and education. It is critical #DC restores these funds. @CMBrookePinto @charlesallen @AnitaBondsDC @VinceGrayWard7 @CMCHenderson Read more: childrenslawcenter.org/resources/fy25…
DC #AccesstoJustice funds save money. In wards 7 & 8 - children 20X more likely to go to the hospital for asthma compared ward 3. We force landlords to provide safe & healthy housing -- which keeps kids out of hospital AND avoids $14M in Medicaid costs over 3 yrs. @CMBrookePinto
Our director of special legal projects @kathyzindc testified about restoring #accesstojustice $$$. In 2023, we talked to 1400+ residents about their legal problems - then represented them or gave them the info & resources they needed to support their family. @CMBrookePinto

Thank you @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @BrianneKNadeau for your unwavering commitment to the Office of the Ombudsperson for Children, a critical resource which DC children & families cannot afford to lose.
#SafetyIs➡️#HealthyHousing for all DC residents🏡Effective enforcement of DC's indoor mold law is crucial for ensuring healthy homes for low-income families + holding negligent landlords liable. Read recs for @DC_DOB's budget in @osborn_makenna testimony: childrenslawcenter.org/resources/fy25…
Our individual & systemic advocacy would not be possible w/o our community of supporters, advocates and partners. In our 2023 Annual Report, you’ll read how we’re bridging gaps in DC’s behavioral health system, strengthening our #MLPs and more! Read here: ow.ly/K4Kn50RirHU
A: “…There is a fair amount of time that isn’t reimbursable, we need to rebase salaries and rely more on grants.”(2/2)
“More than 40% of DC public school students are chronically absent. This is our children’s version of “quiet quitting. We cannot overcome chronic absenteeism if we do not attend to student’s mental health needs.” -Karla Reid-Witt
In this tight budget year, we're thankful @MayorBowser has not cut funding for the @_DCHealth #homevisiting program. We ask the @councilofdc to maintain this funding at its $1.5 million budget allocation. Listen to Mary Katherine West describe the vital role of home visitors.
Home visiting is a proven two-generation strategy that improves health, education, and economic self-sufficiency for parents and children. Here's what one home visiting program participation said about her experience.
We call on the Committee on Housing to fortify + fund essential homelessness prevention programs, especially long-term vouchers, so that children and families aren’t facing housing insecurity and cycling through homelessness. #HealthyHousing 🏡✅childrenslawcenter.org/resources/fy25…
Healthy Together was one of the first #medleg partnerships, and 20+ yrs later – is providing #accesstojustice to 1000s of DC children each year. Learn how #medleg can be a tool in resolving the root causes that harm a child’s health. #NPHW @National_MLP ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Thanks to @DC_Bar President Charles R. Lowery, Jr. for testifying before the DC Council Judiciary and Public Safety Committee, chaired by @CMBrookePinto on the Access to Justice Initiative. This public funding supports essential free legal services across the District. @OVSJG_DC
2,280 tenants remained housed because of the ATJ Initiative according to NPC Research @DCBarFoundation
Grateful to have @DC_Bar President Lowery testify in support of the Initiative.
We are off! @DCATJComm, @DCBarFoundation, @BreadfortheCity , @LegalAidDC leading off the testimony about how critical the ATJ funds are for District residents.
@DCATJComm @DCBarFoundation @BreadfortheCity @LegalAidDC @DCBarFoundation highlights that the funds are needed to ensure legal services when there is high levels of need for lawyers & to ensure legal services lawyers can afford to the with through LRAP.
@DCATJComm @DCBarFoundation @BreadfortheCity @LegalAidDC @DCATJComm “it isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s a good investment”. Yes!
@LegalAidDC & @BreadfortheCity would both lose significant staff and turn away hundreds of clients with these cuts. Lawyers help resolve cases more quickly, saving courts time, ensuring DC residents access food & housing. Real people will be hurt.
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP ED and clients highlight that they could not serve 2/3 of their clinic clients and 2 clients give incredibly powerful testimony about how their lawyers helped them navigate the complex court system so they could escape DV successfully.
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP @DCRapeCrisis says legal services is one of the top needs of their clients. 67% cut to ATJ is unconscionable, what happens to one of us happens to all of us. We must retire these funds and funds for victim services. Yes! Agreed!
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP @DCRapeCrisis @rising4justice highlights work to prevent the unlawful displacement of DC residents & ensure the admin of justice for DC residents who are farthest from power, & work is dependent on ATJ funding. The work improves family stability, increases access to employment & housing
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP @DCRapeCrisis @rising4justice @LCEinDC is the only org that exclusively represents the growing senior population in DC. They provide legal & SW support that allows seniors to remain in their homes, services that will be cut without services being restored.
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP @DCRapeCrisis @rising4justice @LCEinDC @NLSPDC is in the community with offices & clinics. The budget should be balanced on the backs of those who can least afford it !
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP @DCRapeCrisis @rising4justice @LCEinDC @NLSPDC @WashLaw4CR protects workers whose wages have been stolen through the worker’s rights clinic. If it closes, there is no other place for these workers to go. They do whole building cases & housing discrim cases with this funding, protecting the health & safety of DC residents.
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP @DCRapeCrisis @rising4justice @LCEinDC @NLSPDC @WashLaw4CR I joined a panel of incredible medical legal partnership & disability rights lawyers from @georgetownhja and University Legal Services plus an amazing client to talk about the important work @DCChildrensLaw does for DC residents with ATJ funds.
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP @DCRapeCrisis @rising4justice @LCEinDC @NLSPDC @WashLaw4CR @georgetownhja @DCChildrensLaw @DCChildrensLaw works with parents & caregivers to make sure kids have the right services at school so they can attend & thrive. Too many kids are left to struggle in school & fall behind rather than get the supports they are entitled to.
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP @DCRapeCrisis @rising4justice @LCEinDC @NLSPDC @WashLaw4CR @georgetownhja @DCChildrensLaw @DCChildrensLaw fights health inequities where kids in wards 7/8 are 20x more likely to go to hospital for asthma by getting healthier housing, saving DC $14 million in Medicaid costs.
@LegalAidDC @BreadfortheCity @DCVLP @DCRapeCrisis @rising4justice @LCEinDC @NLSPDC @WashLaw4CR @georgetownhja @DCChildrensLaw @DCChildrensLaw helps stabilize families by making sure kids have safe, permanent homes. ATJ money funds all of this work.
Thanks to all who joined us, including language access advocates, nonprofits, and community members, for making our DC Language Access Act’s 20th Anniversary event shine! Here's to more progress in language access and inclusivity! #DCOHR #LanguageAccess
@DCChildrensLaw has saved the District $14M in Medicaid costs over 3 year through legal interventions
Excellent thread by @kathyzindc of DCBF grantee partner @DCChildrensLaw sharing highlights from testimonies at today's budget oversight hearing. The Access to Justice Initiative works, and it is critical that @councilofdc restores funding for FY25 #DCCivilJustice
Thanks @CMBrookePinto for acknowledging how important ATJ funding is to the DC community & saying you will work to restore it!
