November 10, 2020 | 
Nashville, TN – The COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic has caused upheaval to the lives of almost everyone, but the effects have been most pronounced among lower-income people.

Legal Aid Society: Workers Have the Legal Right to Discuss Pay and Working Conditions
By Alix Rogers and Krishna Ammisetty, Legal Aid Society
Nashville, TN – Imagine this scenario: You’ve worked at a job you have had for a few years. You like your work. You get along so well with your coworkers that you feel comfortable enough to discuss your pay with them.
However, discussing pay with coworkers violates a rule in your employee handbook prohibiting the discussion of pay with coworkers.

Renters’ Rights During the Coronavirus Pandemic
Zac Oswald, Legal Aid Society
Nashville, TN – We are all navigating uncertain times. We don’t know when life is going to resume as normal. For most of us, that leaves unanswered questions and worries about the present and the future. Amid lost jobs, illness, closed schools, medical bills and more, the last thing you want to worry about is being evicted from your home during the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic.
Is your landlord threatening to kick you out because you temporarily cannot pay rent? Trying to force you out by changing the locks or shutting off the utilities instead of taking you to court? What can you do about it?

Legal Aid Society: Legal Help Can Restore Lost Public Assistance Benefits
By Russell Overby and Hanna Callicutt, Legal Aid Society
Nashville, TN – For Tennesseans who are dependent on public assistance benefits, a difference of $100.00 or $200.00 in their monthly budgets can dramatically affect the way they live.
If their monthly income drops by even a small amount, it can mean that bills don’t get paid and belts have to be tightened, if that’s even possible. In other words, it’s an emergency.

By Bill Bush
Nashville, TN – It’s been 99 years since women in the U.S. first gained the right to vote — a milestone commemorated each year with Women’s Equality Day on August 26th.

Legal Aid Society says New Law to Help Domestic Violence Victims
Written by Aimee Luna, Attorney
Legal Aid Society
Nashville, TN – When we think of domestic violence, we often picture physical abuse. But the truth is, abusive behavior within a relationship can exist in many forms.
At its core, domestic violence is an attempt by one partner to assert control over the other. It can include threats, insults, emotional manipulation, sexual coercion and a host of other behaviors. Abusers are nothing if not creative in their methods.

Legal Aid Society is Working to Support Homeless Veterans
Written by DarKenya Waller
Executive Director, Legal Aid Society
Nashville, TN – Veterans make up just 7 percent of the U.S. population. So it’s safe to say that for large swaths of our country, the realities of military service are somewhat removed from our daily lives and sphere of understanding.
Though the sacrifices made by veterans are brought to our attention on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, the emotional or physical wounds that some vets carry are a constant, daily struggle.
DarKenya Waller, Executive Director, Legal Aid Society.
