Athens, GA. – The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (AADM) will be hosting a Know Your Rights Workshop and Legal Clinic regarding discrimination and housing on Saturday, November 13th, 2021 at the AADM Justice Center and Bookstore, from 12:30pm to 3:30pm.
The Know Your Rights Workshop will include an informative presentation reviewing discrimination and housing. Elizabeth Grant, a Clinical Assistant Professor from the UGA Law school who is experienced in housing rights issues, will be discussing topics such as eviction and rent assistance, arrest record restriction, and repair issues with landlords.
Attorney and legal expert Eric Krasle will also be present to answer questions from community members. The workshop will be followed by AADM’s pop-up legal clinic, during which community members will be able to speak with local attorneys and advocates, like Krasle, about their discrimination complaints and receive legal advice and referrals for legal aid.
The AADM Justice Center and Bookstore is located inside the Georgia Square Mall, across from Belk on the first floor. Refreshments will be provided.
