This landlord thought they would steamroll our client in eviction court. We didn’t let them. And now they have a judgment for $1500 against them. #timetocollect #evictioncrisis #legalaidhelps @CommLegalAid @evictionlab news5cleveland.com/news/home…

Athena is one of our board members and one of the bravest people I have ever met.
When Athena, a mother of two, realized her husband's #domesticabuse had reached a “dangerous new level," she turned to @CommLegalAid to give her the tools she needed to protect her family. bit.ly/2mExau8

". @stevenmcg said Legal Aid believed its services, which aim to help clients holistically, were having a lasting impact. One that set many clients on an upward trajectory in life.
The question, he said, was “Can we prove it?”
“Now we can,” he said. "
"The report, the first of its kind measuring the impact of civil legal services, bolsters anecdotal evidence that removing even a single legal obstacle can be transformational for a client." Steven McGarrity, Exec. Dir. @CommLegalAid #legalaidhelps
What do you think @ElizabethBartz?
Ohio has a new I VOTED sticker!
This contest wasn’t just about choosing a new design. We wanted to get young people excited about the importance of voting — and after seeing the incredible response, I can say we were successful.
Congrats to our winner, Emily from @TV_Vikes

I’m in Alabama with a group of Secretaries of State on a truly remarkable trip — embedding ourselves in the history of civil rights in our country.
Stay tuned for updates on my experience

A powerful moment, and one I’ll never forget.
As one, 20 Secretaries of State crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.
For us who serve as elections officials — a connection with this history provides a renewed focus for the work we do today. #SOSdemocracy2019

“Let’s stop calling our schools ‘failing.’ What child, or what parent wants to send their child to a failing anything? Our students are not failing. They’re working hard.” -@AkronOhioMayor’s James Hardy at #IOAkron19 @GrtAkronChamber @ImpactOhioTSG
If you never talk to people who disagree with you, you weaken yourself mentally and you weaken our democracy - @FrankLaRose #civilty @ImpactOhioTSG
