We all knew it! Congratulations A'ja Wilson, the three time MVP!
Last week, the City of Las Vegas City Council unanimously approved the entitlements to build our new home, Legal Aid Center's Advocacy & Justice Complex! This first-of-its-kind service campus will allow us to expand our ability to help more survivors of traumatic crimes.
Next Tuesday will mark seven years since the horrific tragedy at the #Route91 Harvest Festival on October 1, 2017. There are a number of efforts and activities throughout the community that our staff at Resiliency & Justice Center will be attending and supporting. #VegasStronger
Resiliency & Justice Center Though its name has changed and its mission has expanded to serve more survivors of violent crime, the center is still here for anyone impacted by #1October and those they love. Visit ResiliencyAndJustice.org to learn about upcoming remembrance events and available services.
On behalf of Legal Aid Center's Resiliency & Justice Center, we thank you for always supporting and highlighting our work. Our Resiliency Center has become a national model and it has been an honor for our team to share best practices, helping communities such as Uvalde, Gilroy and many others.

So incredibly grateful to Las Vegas Raiders for its community impact - they are adopting our Community Room in our Advocacy & Justice Complex, supporting mental health, pro bono, legal aid, and hope and justice for so many.
