ExplanationLegal Aid endeavors to make justice real in individual and systemic ways. One small portion of our advocacy involves direct and grassroots lobbying on issues of importance to our client community with respect to both legislative and regulatory activity. In 2024, our lobbying efforts included advocating for fair and equitable eviction procedures, amendments to wage garnishment laws that provide greater income protections for low-income workers, more robust and effective enforcement of housing code violations, and the preservation and proper administration of major public benefits programs in the District.ExplanationTxt
