On March 11, leaders of Miami’s top law firms and businesses were applauded for generously contributing over $775,000 in gifts and pledges to make sure that the poorest families and individuals in our community have free legal help with critical legal problems they face when they lose jobs and housing and are denied access to healthcare.

Channel 10's Senior Political Reporter Michael Putney praised LSGMI for providing institutional help to “bend the arc of history toward justice” for people in need. “You have saved lives, saved families, saved hope,” said Putney. Campaign Co-Chair Cori Lopez-Castro urged those who had not yet pledged to make a donation and “show our community that we have a passion to help. We have a heart. We have a soul.” Chief Justice Peggy Quince echoed the praise for LSGMI and its supporters. “What greater public good is there than to help those who truly do not otherwise have access to justice,” said Quince. “I encourage you to continue to give and to continue to work in your communities.”
