OVER THE COURSE OF 20 YEARS, MUAV HAS BEEN WORKING FOR OUR CLIENTS INTERFACING AND MOVING THROUGH THE COURT AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM. THESE CLIENTS ARE OFTEN MET WITH NO SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE IN FINDING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE LEGAL SYSTEM. THE COURT SYSTEM IS NOT ADEQUATELY EQUIPPED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR OUR CLIENTS OF THE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY. AS THE PANDEMIC HAS EXACERBATED OUR SYSTEM, WE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED AT EVERY LEVEL WITHIN THE COURT SYSTEM AND PLAGUED BY SYSTEMIC RACISM AND MAJOR INEQUITIES AS IT RELATES TO INTERACTIONS WITH COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. OUR TEAM WILL BE WORKING DIRECTLY WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES.
