Bridging the Legal Gap for Vulnerable Communities | Kate Marr | Executive Director, Community Legal Aid SoCal
Kate Marr is on a mission to make justice accessible for everyone. As Executive Director of Community Legal Aid SoCal, she leads a team of attorneys tackling issues from housing and immigration to domestic violence, health, and consumer rights. In this episode, Kara and Kate talk about why knowing your rights is key to empowerment, how legal aid transforms lives, and the hidden barriers many low-income families face. You’ll hear how Kate’s leadership is giving citizens their power back, what it takes to serve an entire community’s legal needs, and why access and privilege often determine life’s outcomes. This episode explores legal equity, community empowerment, and the fight to make justice a right—not a privilege.
