Open Door Legal expands, envisioning a future of universal access to legal aid

from Civic · host Laura Wenus, Mel Baker

One organization looking to change that is Open Door Legal. With the help of a million-dollar city grant, the nonprofit has just cut the ribbon on two new locations in the Excelsior and Western Addition. Director Adrian Tirtanadi lays out the organization's history and vision.
