Report details effects
of cutbacks on legal aid
The ACLU last week
released a report detailing
the destructive effect of
budget cutbacks on the
ability of the Legal Ser
vices Corporation to
provide legal help for the
poor. The report, No
Justice For the Poor, is
based on the results of an
ACLU survey of sixteen
legal services programs
around the country.
According to the sur
vey, the number of Legal
Services lawyers has been
reduced by 28 percent,
over 300 field offices
have been closed, and

operating only during
limited hours. Many
programs have had to
limit their services to
emergencies, and whole
areas of represen
tation-such as family
law, consumer law and
eligibility hearings for
recipients of Social
Security disability
payments—have been
eliminated or sharply cur
tailed.
“The Reagan Ad
ministration has attem
pted to portray these cuts
as primarily economic,”
says ACLU Executive
Director Ira Glasser.
“But in fact they are
another attempt by the
Administration to deny
poor people equal access
to the protection of the
law, and to cut them out
of the Constitution.
Without access to a
lawyer the guarantee of
‘equal protection of the
laws’ is empty, and
justice becomes the ex
clusive property of those
who can afford to pay for
it.”
The report calls upon
Congress to refund the
Legal Services Cor
poration to an adequate
operating level.

JACKSON, Miss.—The
board of directors of the
NAACP, at its quarterly
meeting here last week,
rejected support of the
move to run a Black for
president warning that
such action would “dilute
the strength of the Black
vote.”
In a sharply-worded
resolution passed
unanimously by the 64-
member board, the
NAACP called “upon
every eligible Black
American voter in every
state to sharply focus on
the No. 1 priority, the
defeat of the Ronald
Reagan version of
government by casting his
or her vote for the can
didate most likely to
achieve that goal and to
take no steps, however
symbolically attractive,
which may have the effect
of diluting the Black
vote.”
The board stated it
rejected any notion which
had the potential of
keeping Black voters
from making every effort
to turn back the reac
tionary forces bent on
erasing “all of our hard
won gains of the ‘6os and
the ‘7os.”
Calling attention to the
Page 3
reaffirmation of its
historical and time
honored non-partisan
political policy, and its
position of encouraging
Blacks to participate in
the political process at
every level and in every
capacity under the party
banner of his or her
choice, the resolution
stated that a sufficient
number of Black citizens
made possible the defeat
of Hubert H. Humphrey
and the election of
Richard M. Nixon simply
by staying away from the
polls to express their
dissatisfaction with the
American political
process.
“Black Americans
know from bitter ex
perience that withholding
ballots from the realistic
political arena is a luxury
that can be ill afforded,”
it warned.
In support of the
resolution, the board
voted to step up its voter
registration and voter
education campaign in 20
states and will employ
three new staff members
to assist in the drive now
headed by Detroiter
Joseph Madison.
