Second Annual Happy Hour at McGurk’s
Please join St. Louis Survivors Legal Support for our second annual happy hour!
Thanks to in part to the funds raised last year, we:
Represented clients in more than 200 order of protection cases, with approximately 70% receiving orders of protection (compared to the St. Louis County average of 20%).
Recruited and offered training to more than 170 attorneys supporting our mission.
Partnered with 10 police departments, 15+ victim advocacy organizations, 2 hospital systems, and other community groups to raise awareness and offer our clients comprehensive support.
Onboarded 6 staff members, including three immigrants from Africa, who are helping us connect with our community’s most marginalized populations.
This year, your support will help us to hire a staff attorney to amplify the impact of our volunteer attorneys’ generous dedication and service to victims of intimate partner violence.
NEW! FREE CLE for All Volunteers (All-Day)
