This #July4th is a great time to connect with community & loved ones, and to reflect on what a "more perfect union" can look like. As we celebrate the best of this country, LISC is also recommitting to our fight for a more equitable, inclusive, & safe America for all.

Last week’s ruling "will have a far reaching and devastating impact on equity and the wellbeing of women and families in underserved communities and those living with economic instability. For LISC, Friday’s decision has deepened our resolve to address these gaps."

Join us for this @LISCInstitute discussion on Thursday!
