Her Justice’s Post

In a demonstration of the strength in collaboration, just a few months ago, legal service organizations throughout New York State came together and stopped an unprecedented proposal to sweep $100 away from the IOLA Fund (which provides critical funding to non-profit legal organizations in every region of the state to serve low-income New Yorkers, including the Telesca Center for Justice partners). And now, that collaborative strength is necessary again. A late-breaking proposal from #GovernorKathyHochul would ‘sweep’ $55 million from the Interest on Lawyers Account Fund (IOLA). At no time in IOLA’s 40-year history -- despite the budget fluctuations facing the state through those years -- have these funds been diverted to any other purpose. Any shift of IOLA revenue to pay for other government programs – however needed – could destroy IOLA as a vital source of support for legal services for the most vulnerable New Yorkers. “Fundamentally, this would take non-taxpayer dollars from low-income New Yorkers who need access to civil legal services,” Kristin Brown, President of the New York Legal Services Coalition. Read more in the article linked below from Law.com, and check out the statement released by IOLA for more about this second proposed sweep.

For those following the GGU Lawsuit as we push through this I wanted to setup a Gofundme as there will be expenses along the way. Additionally, I think if we can show that money is raised in our injunction motion that could be helpful as well. Below is the link. https://lnkd.in/gjCavGNG
