Presented by the Los Angeles Mayor's Office of Community Safety and Gang Reduction & Youth Development, SNL is aimed at helping communities most impacted by gang-related violence by reinvesting in our communities through free meals, extended programming and sports leagues, safe spaces for recreation, community engagement, employment opportunities, and linkages to local resources. Come get to know your neighbors and public safety partners with arts, activities, free food, and other resources. Our advocates will be on-site offering free legal resources and information—stop by if you have a legal question! 🗓️Thursday, July 18th & Friday, July 19th at 7:00 P.M. 📍 South Park Recreation Center (Thurs) & Ross Snyder Recreation Center (Fri) *Stay tuned for information on future dates*

Happy International Non-Binary People’s Day from Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles! Today, we celebrate the diversity, experiences and struggles of the #nonbinary community and work to proactively combat the systemic, intersectional inequities facing our staff, clients, and communities. According to the Human Rights Campaign, nonbinary, #genderqueer, and #transgender individuals are more likely to experience intimate partner violence, housing discrimination, employment discrimination, voter suppression, and more—often with no repercussions for these blatant injustices. Justice for some is not justice at all. If you're facing gender discrimination at work, at home, in your medical care, or beyond, LAFLA may be able to help. You can also check out our guide to legally changing your name at lafla.org. We are with you.

♿️ Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth! We're celebrating the strength, creativity, and diversity of people with disabilities. As advocates, we're proud of our work to expand life-sustaining opportunities for people impacted by structural ableism and all its intersections. We fight for #DisabilityRights because disabled people deserve access, equality, and justice. When having a disability means you are twice as likely to live in poverty and four times more likely to lose your home, it's clear that #DisabilityJustice is a crucial piece of justice for all. This month, join us in honoring the pioneering activism of the disability community—and committing to the work that still must be done to achieve safety, security, and liberation for all.
