Each year, hundreds of people like you help us carry out our mission of fighting for gender liberation across the Pacific Northwest! Our volunteers are a diverse team of individuals bound together by a desire to create positive change. Legal Voice could not provide the vital support it offers our community without the countless hours generously donated by our volunteers.
