Summer 2007 TRLA Newsletter Now Available Online

Click to read! Summer 2007 TRLA Newsletter

In this issue, we take an in-depth look at TRLA's fight with community residents to preserve the historic North side of Corpus Christi in the midst of proposed plans for the construction of a new wastewater plant just hundreds of feet from area apartment complexes and houses. The feature story takes a closer look at the gradual decimation of a historic community and examines the motivations behind TRLA's civil rights complaint filed in April charging the City of Corpus Christi with discriminating against African American residents.

The Summer 2007 newsletter also highlights TRLA's work to help survivors of late April's tornado in Eagle Pass, TRLA's participation in Community Law School, a guestworker lawsuit against an Arkansas farm filed by TRLA's Migrant Farmworkers Project Southern Migrant Legal Services, as well as special awards for TRLA staff and a State Bar award for the new Valley Community Justice Project.
