Each year, LSC provides essential civil legal aid to millions of low-income Americans through local grantees such as Idaho Legal Aid Services. A 46% cut to LSC funding would result in layoffs, office closures, and thousands of Idahoans left to face life-altering legal challenges alone.

Too often, survivors of domestic violence are dismissed in court because they don’t “fit” someone’s idea of how a victim should act. Justice cannot depend on stereotypes — we must rethink what credibility means.
