      <image:title>Perspectives - Work Permits for Recently Arrived Immigrants Can Help Ensure They Find Housing - “The rhetoric of these city leaders often lacks empathy and compassion for the immigrants who, for the most part, have simply sought protection in this country from the dangerous situations in their countries of origin. But city leaders are right that the federal government should bear the brunt of the blame in creating this problem.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - Crisis in Reproductive Freedom: The Dobbs Decision and Contraception Access - “In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is “demonstrably erroneous,” we have a duty to “correct the error” established in those precedents.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - What the Supreme Court Decision Upholding the Indian Child Welfare Act Did Not Decide - Of course, this denial by the Court to address the race issue at the center of the ICWA leaves the question for a future decision but also opens the door, possibly, for the Court to consider the federal government's authority to limit Native American sovereignty, which would have broad implications for Native American tribes.</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - What the Supreme Court Decision Upholding the Indian Child Welfare Act Did Not Decide - Recently, Ada Deer died at age 88. She worked tirelessly since the 1960’s to end that policy and restore the sovereignty of her Menominee tribe in Wisconsin that lost its sovereignty in 1961 that resulted in ending their lifeline of federal financial support. Her efforts of many years resulted in President Nixon signing the Menomonee Restoration Act of 1973 that restored the tribe's sovereignty.  She became the tribe's first chairwoman and later the Assistant Secretary of the Interior in charge of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Clinton Administration.</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - The Fight Against Solitary Confinement</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gray walls. No windows. No pictures on the walls. A bed. A sink/toilet. That is your entire life in solitary. How about the cell door? It used to be made up of bars–like you see in the movies. But decades ago, prison officials welded steel plates over the bars–so now even the door is just another gray wall, the monotony broken by a small window covered by heavy mesh.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Perspectives - The Fight Against Solitary Confinement - While Mr. Hope and Mr. Johnson present extreme cases, their experiences are in no way unique. Every day, approximately 80,000 people in this country are held in solitary confinement: locked in their cells 20-plus hours a day, day after day, month after month, year after year.</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - The Fight Against Solitary Confinement - Numerous challenges to solitary confinement in state and federal courts continue. With the support of the Barbara McDowell Foundation, the Uptown People's Law Center alleges in our grant-funded case that the Illinois Department of Corrections holds people in solitary for too long, for minor offenses, and in terrible conditions, resulting in serious harm to people’s mental and physical health. One of the named plaintiffs in the case was held for 25 years in solitary. Others have been held in solitary even longer than that, and thousands of people have been in solitary for over a year.</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - Ending Systemic Harm by the Child Welfare System Requires a Different Investment in Children and Families</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2020, nearly four million children were reported to child welfare systems and about 54% of those children were subjected to an investigation. Of these investigations, more than 80% were closed with no action against the families involved, but the harm was already done: eroding trust within families and undermining the vitality of communities. These types of unfounded, state-funded investigations do not protect children.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Perspectives - Ending Systemic Harm by the Child Welfare System Requires a Different Investment in Children and Families</image:title>
      <image:caption>But there is growing understanding public systems don’t have to be punitive to help children and their families – and policymakers and public system leaders can make decisions to refocus time, resources, and money on truly supporting children and families. Litigation has been a crucial strategy to not only prevent and minimize harm by these public child welfare systems but also help children and youth receive helpful interventions, like mental and behavioral health services, in their homes or communities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Perspectives - Seizure of Identification Documents by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Creates Hardships for Immigrant Families - Unfortunately, it has become increasingly common for immigration agents to seize and even destroy these documents. This practice has had devastating consequences for immigrants. Without these documents, immigrants are unable to legally work or travel, putting them and their families at risk of deportation. Furthermore, the seizure of documents is part of a larger pattern of abuse and mistreatment of immigrants by immigration agents. ICE has even refused to provide copies of these original documents which have been seized to immigrants including their passports and Consular IDs.</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - Seizure of Identification Documents by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Creates Hardships for Immigrant Families - In another case, a family of four has encountered severe hardship due to having their documents confiscated. They were forced to flee their home after suffering assaults and harassment due to being indigenous and being members of the Christian faith.</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - Fighting to Reverse New York Courts’ Erosion of People’s Basic Due Process Rights - Such is the situation of Sharae Banks, another New Yorker denied relief based on Mitiku. Like Ms. Gomez, Ms. Banks did not know she had been sued by a debt buyer because she was never served, and for several years she endured wage seizures because she did not know her legal rights and could not afford an attorney.</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - Fighting Back Against a New Wave of Attacks on LGBTQ+ Equality - Every year, hundreds of anti-LGBTQ+ bills are introduced in state legislatures. These range from bills that would criminalize doctors for providing medically necessary health care to transgender youth to bills forbidding teachers from providing accurate information about the contributions of LGBTQ+ people in history—or even displaying rainbow flags or Safe Space signs to let students know they are valued and supported.</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - Fighting Back Against a New Wave of Attacks on LGBTQ+ Equality - Over the past decade, anti-LGBTQ+ legal groups have challenged many laws created to protect LGBTQ+ youth from the dangerous and discredited practice of conversion therapy—practices by licensed therapists that claim to “cure” LGBTQ+ young people by changing their sexual orientation or gender identity.</image:title>

      <image:title>Perspectives - Five Civil Rights Supreme Court Cases to Watch This Term - Should college race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina that benefit primarily Black applicants at the expense of Asian-American applicants be held to be unconstitutional for violating the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (Harvard case) and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (North Carolina case) for receiving money from the federal government in violation of the proscription prohibiting discrimination based on race?</image:title>

      <image:title>Press - “A Unique Lawyer.” Why a Foundation Supports Legal Action for Social Justice - The Barbara McDowell and Gerald S. Hartman Foundation was founded in 2009 to improve the economic well-being, social conditions and civil liberties of disadvantaged persons and groups in the United States. It bears the name of New York City native Jerry Hartman, a veteran attorney, and his late wife Barbara McDowell, a prominent attorney and social justice advocate. Barbara was active with the Legal Aid Society, serving as founding director of what is now the Barbara McDowell Appellate Advocacy Program.</image:title>

      <image:title>Press - “A Unique Lawyer.” Why a Foundation Supports Legal Action for Social Justice - “She was really a superstar. Of course, I’m prejudiced, being her husband. But she really was,” Hartman said as he began to talk about his late wife. A Yale Law graduate, McDowell clerked for Justice Byron White. One of her co-clerks was Ron Klain, now President Joe Biden’s chief of staff. Eventually, she joined powerhouse law firm Jones Day, where she made partner. She went on to the Solicitor General’s office, and holds the rare distinction of arguing two cases before the United States Supreme Court on the same day.</image:title>

      <image:title>Barbara McDowell - “As Barbara expressed it to me, echoing the same words of Lyra McKee, the Northern Ireland journalist recently murdered, Barbara saw the poor in America, like the poor in Northern Ireland, having a “poverty of vision” and a “poverty of ambition.” Much, much too often Barbara believed mainstream Americans cast a blind eye on their fellow Americans living in squalor who wanted nothing more than the same equal opportunity enjoyed by so many privileged Americans. Barbara strove to vanquish that sad image.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Barbara McDowell - “My current career path grew out of my church’s work with young people and families in an inner area of the District. As I learned of the difficulties that poor people encountered in their contacts with landlords, government agencies, and the local courts, I began to think about how I could use my skills as an appellate lawyer to their benefit. Happily, the Legal Aid Society was thinking along the same lines: to start an appellate project with the goal of shaping the law in DC affecting people in poverty.”</image:title>
