“Help our frontline workers!” sings a loud chorus of good and willing

Marin residents, thinking with concern not just of doctors and nurses but

the clerks and drivers and warehouse workers all living with exposure.

Legal Aid of Marin’s staff members are also essential, frontline workers.

And we are continuing to serve the most vulnerable members of the

Marin Community. We need your help to keep doing this work – which

is not only itself frontline work, but work that disproportionately serves

others also involved in frontline work and those affected by COVID-19.

Our staff members are working remotely, coordinating their efforts using

sharepoint spreadsheets and Zoom calls; counseling extremely worried

tenants who’ve lost all income while sheltering place; hosting countless

online bilingual education sessions; and, continuing through our pro

bono program to advise seniors at Whistlestop using online resources.

Our advocacy also continues. On March 24, we played a critical part in

securing legal protections from the Board of Supervisors for all renters in

the County facing sudden loss of income due to shelter-in-place orders.

And, to support others, we must continue to support ourselves; so our

fundraising continues as well.
