About this Event

The Walk to the Hill for Civil Legal Aid is an annual event that gathers private bar attorneys, legal aid lawyers, and law students at the Massachusetts State House to ask their legislators to increase funding for the .

About the Program: On Thursday, January 23, hundreds of Walk to the Hill participants will meet face to face with their legislators to advocate for increased MLAC funding in the state budget. Before these legislative visits, attendees will hear from inspiring speakers who support civil legal aid in Massachusetts, including a client whose life has been transformed by legal services. Free lunch will be provided for attendees. CART and ASL services will be available.

About Civil Legal Aid: Unlike criminal defendants, people with low incomes who are facing serious civil legal problems—including issues related to domestic violence, housing, health care, employment, government benefits, bankruptcy, and elder issues—do not have the right to an attorney in most cases. Legal aid organizations provide essential representation and advice to help vulnerable people protect their basic human needs for health, safety, and housing.

Our advocacy at Walk to the Hill helps make civil legal aid funding a priority for policymakers.
