Pivot Legal Society Annual Report 2022

Peer experts, community organizers and groups, funders, and supporters, are all a critical part of our work which at its heart, involves creating space for and learning from, people directly impacted by poverty and criminalization.

To all who have stood alongside us on the streets and in the courts; to all who have sent emails and showed up to serve food; to all who have spent countless hours collaborating with us and to all those who have opened your doors for us, we thank you!

Your trust and generosity have allowed us to fight back against discriminatory and deadly laws and policies while striving for healthier and stronger communities.
