Justicia Lab
“Technology in the legal space is not just a tool, it is a conduit for the justice movement; it connects immigrants with tools to cultivate knowledge about different ways to exercise their power within this system and supercharges the work of the people who are serving their communities. Building digital tools for immigrant justice increases the number of people who find support, bolsters their meaningful participation and helps the helpers work more effectively while informing broader justice initiatives.”
– Joshua Medina, Legal User Experience Designer, Justicia Lab
