Advancing Racial & Health Justice Through a Right to Counsel for Tenants

Learn how the public health field can support a right to counsel for tenants facing eviction. A safe and stable home is the foundation for a healthy life, but this remains out of reach for many. New laws that guarantee a right to counsel for tenants facing eviction offer a promising opportunity to address this and related racial and health inequities.

Join us for a webinar on March 6 at 2 pm Eastern/11 am Pacific to: • Learn more about right to counsel laws and steps that public health practitioners can take to support the right to counsel to advance racial and health justice. • Be the first to preview and receive the new resource: Advancing Racial & Health Justice Through a Right to Counsel for Tenants: A Primer for the Public Health Field. This webinar is for public health practitioners, lawyers, organizers, local government staff and officials, and all those interested in advancing health through a right to counsel for tenants.
