Support us

Keep the intake desk open

Most people who write to us pay nothing. Members and volunteers are why.

The clinic runs on grants, members and volunteers. A membership pays for the hours a lawyer spends on cases where no law makes the company pay, and it keeps the letter kit free for anyone who asks.
