Summer Public Defender Internship

This summer I will be working with the Marin County Public Defender's office as a rising 2L summer intern. Marin county is a county of extremes: while it's per capita income is one of the highest in the state, around 7.7% of residents are at or below the poverty guidelines. Furthermore, many residents are homeless and face mental health and substance abuse issues. For this reason, the work of free public defense is important for justices' sake. 

Unfortunately, given the tight budgetary restrictions in California, neither the internship nor my school can grant me any money for my rent, utilities, food, travel costs, etc. Due to this, I am asking for assistance to help cover my cost of living while I work at this venerable public sector job. 

Please help me speak up for those without resources, those without representation, and those without a voice.
