Interested in learning more about the Cohort? Please fill out the form on the right in order to join. While we’re always excited to welcome new programs to the group, you don’t have to be part of an existing PLA/PP program to participate in the Cohort. The Cohort is intended to serve as a resource for any stakeholders interested in learning more about early legal advocacy and its capacity to prevent unnecessary family separation.
