Description:

As an organization and as human beings, we at CLSEPA express our outrage and grief over the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and thousands of others who have not been made nationally known and whose killers have still not been brought to justice. We affirm our commitment to #BlackLivesMatter. For us, one part of the answer is a deepened commitment to our mission of transformative action in our community. Another answer is very personal, a struggle to figure out how each of us can meaningfully meet the call and be changemakers. In order to create a just society, we must acknowledge that the recent murders were not isolated incidents but instead the latest in centuries of racial violence perpetrated by white supremacy. We also must acknowledge that the current work around understanding and dismantling systemic racism must be continuous. As an organization, we will continue our efforts to challenge systematic racism in our work and in our internal policies. We hope that you will use this moment to engage in community education and advocacy as well. We encourage you to explore a few educational resources here. BLACK LIVES MATTEROur primary concern is the health and safety of our clients, community, and our staff. Because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health crisis, we are are asking community members to call us for legal help, instead of stopping by our office. We are continuing to offer legal help to the community, and we are available to help by phone. For a phone consultation, please call us at 650-326-6440. If you already have an appointment, your attorney may try to reschedule or talk to you by phone. Nuestra preocupación principal es la salud y seguridad de nuestros clientes, comunidad y nuestro personal.
