Many of our members have reached out looking for ways to help immigrants and community members who have been harmed by recent ICE actions. We've worked with our member partners at various civil legal aid organizations and compiled this non-exhaustive list of opportunities for attorneys to use their skills to help.

"As attorneys our jobs are, at baseline, hard. Most of us entered the profession to help. It can feel impossible to know how, but I keep returning to one clear, meaningful starting point: making more space for community and humanity — for ourselves, and for each other."

In this week's Hennepin Lawyer, HCBA President Jessica Klander reflects on the challenges of being an attorney today, and calls on us to remember that vulnerability can be a source of strength, not weakness.

We are heartbroken by the tragic shooting at Annunciation School. Violence in a place of learning, where children and educators should feel safe, has no place in our community.

We grieve for the lives lost and hold the students, families, teachers, and staff of Annunciation in our thoughts. We also extend our deepest sympathy to the wider community that must now navigate profound sorrow and loss.
