Monday, Council of DC passed a reform that will firmly end DC’s automatic disqualification from occupational and business licensing for workers with DMV debt, the latest step forward in over three years of coalition-based systemic advocacy on this issue! tzedekdc.org/news-1/2025/7/…

We thank Council of DC for investing in the Access to Justice Initiative for FY26. ATJ gives LCE and other organizations the ability to help keep DC's low-income & most vulnerable residents housed and protects their public benefits. We encourage Mayor Muriel Bowser to sign the budget.

Social Security turns 90 today! For the past nine decades Social Security has been a lifeline for older Americans. LCE is proud to work on behalf of our clients to ensure they receive the benefits they've earned. #weearnedit #SocialSecurityis90

After years of LCE advocacy, we are proud to announce that Mayor Bowser signed a bill establishing a will registry in DC. This allows originals, which are required by DC law, to be filed in court prior to probate. The registry will be operational on 1/1/28. Great news for DC!
