Introducing: The Pathways to Justice Campaign
Create pathways to safety, security, and health in Tampa Bay and beyond.
The Pathways to Justice Campaign is Bay Area Legal’s new annual effort to raise critical funds from individuals, businesses, and foundations who believe in justice for all.

Legal aid protects our most vulnerable community members from crises that affect their safety, security, or health.
Former clients Courtney, A'Diva, and Robert share how free legal services from Bay Area Legal transformed their lives.
