Today we have woken up with a new President-Elect. Election results can understandably bring feelings of anxiety and fear for the future, and this year we have seen a particularly divisive election cycle, involving harmful rhetoric that scapegoated the most disadvantaged members of our society. Undocumented folks, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, and people experiencing homelessness have been particularly targeted both in speeches and in policy proposals. Throughout the campaign period, Public Law Center has been particularly alarmed by policy proposals including the restrictions on health care access for women and LGBTQ+ people, as well as immigration restrictions that are inhumane, illogical, and unproductive.
At Public Law Center, our aim is to support the most vulnerable members of our community and guide them through some of the most challenging moments in their lives. Whether they are facing eviction, deportation, fraud, or abuse, Public Law Center is in their corner to uphold their rights and work towards a fair and just outcome. Regardless of who is in office at the federal, state, and local levels, this mission is unchanged. We will continue to fight and advocate for all vulnerable people in Orange County, California by building and growing our strong network of community partners and volunteers. Together, we will continue to stand side-by-side with our clients, and advocate for their needs, safety, and rights at all levels of government and policy.
Now more than ever, we ask that you join us on this path and work with us to ensure that every Orange County resident, especially the most vulnerable, may be respected and empowered as they navigate the justice system to keep themselves and their families safe, healthy, housed, and financially secure.

Take care,
