Justice is the one thing that makes
everyone equal. All people, regardless
of their income or their socioeconomic
status or their race or their gender,

should not be marginalized.
Poverty is not a crime. My name is Ivon
London and I work for the Texas Fair
Defense Project. We are located in
Austin, Texas and we became Cleo

representation is not entitled based on
the sixth amendment. That's why we do
pro bono work. There is no fee for our
services. Our organization takes on
people who are at 200% of the poverty
level or below. We fill that gap because
we are the only ones that are able to

only listen but help them advocate for
themselves while also advocating for

order to effectuate change. You always
have to be up for the fight, and you
