Happy Earth Day!

This is Summer Winter Garden! At more than 50 years old, it’s one of Philly’s oldest community gardens. Until last year, it was at risk of being developed because it wasn’t owned by the people who take care of it. But recently, the Law Center and pro bono counsel at Saul Ewing helped our clients at Neighborhood Gardens Trust gain ownership so it could be permanently preserved for the community to steward for years and generations to come!

Executive Director Brent Landau spoke at a town hall in Harrisburg to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Pennsylvania Constitution and the Pennsylvania Provincial Congress. It was one in a series of events that the Law Center is coordinating with Carpenters' Hall and other organizations to encourage Pennsylvanians to reflect on the contemporary relevance of our state constitution.

Brent wrote about the significance of our state constitution -- and its importance to the Law Center's work -- here: https://www.pennlive.com/opinion/2026/04/the-pennsylvania-constitution-is-250-years-old-and-as-relevant-as-ever-opinion.html
