  • Filing class action lawsuits;
  • Signing on to petitions and letters in support of issues impacting clients;
  • Supporting legislation that improves our clients’ communities;
  • Filing and joining Amicus Briefs; and
  • Joining community groups and legal aid partnerships.

The Impact Litigation & Advocacy team regularly partners with law firms to engage in strategic litigation and other partnerships to advance legal cases for our clients.  If you are interested in joining LAS’ work, please email LASadvocacy@metrofamily.org.
