0/ GM! Starting the week with my weekly #atj trends report bc @LSC_tweets’s 2022 Justice Gap Study came out last Thurs. It’s one of my favorite ATJ publications, and this was intense. Buckle up for key findings and some big opportunities:
1/ Sec 1: TL;DR is that *92%* of low-income Americans' civil legal issues go inadequately or un-met, up from 86% in 2017. LSC orgs turn away ~50% of those eligible bc of a lack of capacity. Raises 2 Qs immediately: how do we increase capacity and how do we help those turned away?
2/ Sec 2: Of the 50M Americans that have incomes <125% of the federal poverty lev (FPL, $17.5k indie or $43.5k/fam), those disproportionately affected are rural, Black/Hispanic, women, and/or without a college education. How are we incorporating cultural differences in solutions?
