3. Fighting Poverty Through Legal Advocacy w/ Crystal Crawford Esq.

Many systems keep people in poverty – from institutionalized racism to unjust and unequal economic structures. The Western Center on Law & Poverty addresses those factors in every aspect of their work, and for this episode, I’m privileged to have Attorney Crystal Crawford - the Executive Director of the Center - for our Legal Lens Show. Our TOP 3 highlights from this episode are: We must press California to confront its unique legacies of systematic racism –much of which is the foundation of poverty in California. In their work, the Center’s members seek to call out the ways communities are still impacted by these systems and work to dismantle them. WCLP values community input and ideas about innovative and impactful ways to dismantle systems of oppression and promote economic and racial justice.
