SUMMARY:ACD Hosts CLE: Pro Bono Representation (Housing)
DESCRIPTION:For the past year\, courts closed and/or slowed evictions and they’ve backed up. Families owe more in back rent than ever before and the federal assistance programs are not fast enough and do not provide enough support to prevent the oncoming wave of evictions. Landlords will soon be able to request sheriffs to execute evictions and we anticipate that the number of eviction lawsuit filings will increase exponentially too. Providing tenants with legal representation is more important than ever before.  \n“Tenants with representation were forcibly displaced from their homes in just 5 percent of cases\, compared with a staggering 78 percent of unrepresented tenants. Represented tenants were also twice as likely as unrepresented tenants to receive a favorable judgment.” – Center for American Progress \nIn April\, we are hosting a free\, introductory CLE to prepare lawyers to provide pro bono representation to tenants through ACD’s volunteer lawyer program. CLE credit has been approved by the Missouri Bar for 2.4 hours (0.5 ethics). \nNote: we will be providing the SAME CLE on three different dates to try to make it more accessible. You will select your session on the registration page. \nThe registration link: https://bit.ly/398IAvk \nApril 7 from 9-11 a.m. \nApril 14 from 4-6 p.m. \nApril 21 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

SUMMARY:Death by the State: Introducing ArchCity’s Fatal State Violence Project
DESCRIPTION:“How long will justice be crucified and truth buried\, how long? We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.” — Martin Luther King\, Jr. (1962) \nNearly 60 years later\, we find ourselves asking the same question. \nIn the spirit of Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, and ArchCity Defenders’ commitment to speaking truth to power\, we invite you to the launch of our Fatal State Violence project\, an initiative that is rooted in the experiences of impacted families who have lost a loved one to a police killing or in-custody jail death\, and the disturbing realities that follow. During this virtual event\, ACD will talk about the project and review the key findings in the policy report\, “Death by the State: The State of Fatal State Violence in St. Louis\,” which will be released on January 18th. Register and tune-in to hear about the realities of FSV on impacted families\, data regarding people killed by police and people who died in jail custody from 2009-2019\, an analysis of news media reporting of these incidents\, and data on police who reportedly killed people. ACD will conclude the programming with the cost of policing and state violence\, and with concrete ways event participants can engage and support this project. \nSpeaker Information Coming Soon \nFacebook Event Page
