OUR DEMANDS
“working collaboratively with (not simply on behalf of) low-income and working-class people, people of colour, and their groups and communities to collectively push for social change.” Ascanio Pomelli , "The Challenge of Democratic Lawyering" (2009) at 1385 -LINK)
- Retain the current number of independent legal clinics
- Community-controlled legal action, not short legal 'services'
- Ensure adequately resourced clinics, as poverty has increased in the GTA
- Engage in extensive grass-roots consultation before making any major clinic changes.
