Thank you to our donors, volunteers, and community partners for ensuring that ‘Justice Works!’ for the clients of Bay Area Legal Services. Your support for this mission fights abuse, exploitation, fraud, homelessness, and so much more. As justice remains a cornerstone of civil society, Bay Area Legal Services appreciates all who made a difference in 2021 through the belief that access to justice is a human right—not a privilege."
