Dear Friend,

Only two weeks remain until our December 31 End-of-Year fundraising deadline, and I'm asking for your help to unlock our $75,000 matching gift opportunity. ([link removed])

Over the past year, we have witnessed attempts by the Trump administration to upend our constitutional democracy, dismantle the administrative state, and weaponize the federal government against the communities that we serve every day.

That means NCLEJ’s advocacy on behalf of marginalized people and communities is more important than ever before. Here are some highlights of our recent work:
* In Missouri, Alaska, Georgia, and New York, we’re fighting to dismantle illegal barriers to SNAP so that low-income families can access the food benefits they need to stave off hunger and poverty.
* In Illinois, we’re defending a disabled individual on Mandatory Supervised Release (parole) who is being unlawfully denied the right to reasonable accommodations for his disabilities by the State.
* In Buffalo, we’re fighting to hold the City accountable for failing to inspect and remediate lead-poisoned housing that harms so many children of color, particularly in poor and working class communities.
* And in New York City, we’re fighting back against extreme wage theft of home-care workers, primarily immigrant women of color, who are forced to work 24-hour shifts for only 13 hours of pay.

Despite all of these efforts, there is still much more to do. Indeed, advocates and impacted people across the country recognize the need and want us to do more. But without the financial resources, we are forced to turn down cases where our lawyers could make the difference.

That’s why I am urging you to donate whatever you can right now. Your contribution will help us expand our team, take on more casework, and ultimately secure more legal victories for the poor and working-class communities we serve. ([link removed])

Thank you,
