What happened at our Tuesday night clinic

Hi [First name],

Since you last gave, [Name] walked into our Tuesday night clinic holding an eviction notice and a stack of unopened mail, not sure what any of it meant. A pro bono attorney sat down with [Name] and read it all, one page at a time.

Our clinic exists so tenants can know their rights before they walk into court.

This Giving Tuesday, our goal is $1,000 so 10 tenants get a one-hour consult with a volunteer attorney at our eviction clinic.

Would you start us off with an early gift? Early gifts build momentum for everyone who gives after you.

A stack of unopened mail can feel like a verdict.

Our Tuesday night clinic turns "know your rights" into a real conversation with a pro bono attorney. Today we're raising $1,000 so 10 more tenants get a one-hour consult.

$25 = a folder of eviction-defense guides and court forms for a client to take home.

Eviction notices rarely come with instructions, and many tenants face court alone.
