Access to justice issues are among the biggest of our societal issues and we just don't do enough to deal with it.
Government should subsidize litigation expenses for meritorious civil rights claims. Not attorneys fees. Expenses.

People don't realize how expensive litigation is even if you don't pay your attorney a cent. Filing fees. Court reporters. Discovery vendors. And good luck trying to get them to waive their fees
I've actually had some luck with an e-discovery vendor I use regularly. But I can't do that too often.
It shouldn't be too hard to set up if it can be funded. A fund. Let it negotiate preferred vendor pricing. No hoop access on the front end, but attorney review on the back end to make sure it wasn't a frivolous claim - do that, and the lawyer/firm is barred from future access
Recoup costs plus from any fee awards in successful cases.
Can you argue with those specifics? If course. This is off the top of my head first thing after waking up.
But we have to do something.
