INDEPENDENCE

PETITION TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO NEED HOME CARE

The version of the Build Back Better Act that the House passed last November includes $150 billion to expand affordable home care. The Senate needs to pass a modified version of BBB and it should include funding for home care, so that hundreds of thousands of seniors and people with disabilities who have been waiting can receive the care they need to live safely in their homes.

Making the Court More Accessible

Going to court without a lawyer is never easy. But TJC believes that the General Sessions court can be improved so that people who are sued or evicted and do not have a lawyer can still get a fair hearing.

If you have had to defend yourself in General Sessions court against a lawsuit or eviction, we want to hear from you about your experience. Learn more about this project, and share your story with us here.
