The Legal Aid Justice Center applauds the decision of the National Legal Aid and Defender Association (NLADA) to withdraw its support from the Equal Justice Conference, scheduled for May 13-15 in Phoenix, Arizona. In response to the immigration law passed in Arizona recently which NLADA believes will harm Americans and immigrants alike, the group took a courageous stand to pull-out of the conference. As a result of its decision to withdraw from the conference, cosponsored with the American Bar Association, NLADA will incur substantial expenses.
 
If you would like to support NLADA in its courageous stand against injustice and help defray these costs, you can make a contribution on the organization’s website here.
 
Alex Gulotta, Executive Director of the Legal Aid Justice Center is also a member of the NLADA Board of Directors.
