Free legal advice, because your rights matter.

Day of Action

On the 3rd June 2011 the nation joined
Justice for All in rallying against the impending
cuts to legal aid.

Individuals got together in their area to campaign for Justice for All by:

  • calling on MPs and councillors to support free legal advice
  • raising awareness in the media and with the local community
  • using Justice for All logo and materials to show we are a national movement.

Get inspired

Hold your own Day of Action to show how important free legal advice is in your community.

Read our Action Hero guide for more ideas.

Use this general guidance on campaigning in your community

Justice for All actions are:
- for free, independent advice;
- not be for any one advice provider over another;
- not party political.
