In a blog post on the CCJ website, Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. Executive Director, Daniel Atkins, writes about the remarkable history of CLASI’s advocacy work.
“These individual cases are undoubtedly the heart and soul of our work, and they help thousands of people each year. They keep us connected to our client communities, immerse us in our clients’ lives, and help us track patterns across client communities to understand what systemic issues are adversely impacting people in our state. This in turn leads to the work that we don’t always have a chance to talk about with our supporters: the systemic advocacy that we do.”

It means so much to me that you believed in this case and believed in me.”
