Campaigns

The LDF assists AFSA's national campaigns by employing legal research and support services. The work of the LDF improves the overall effectiveness of AFSA's lobbying and public advocacy efforts, but the LDF does not itself perform lobbying or advocacy in its role.

Please see Legal Defence Fund News below to read about AFSA's past and present campaigns.

The LDF is also continuously developing and implementing the marketing and social media aspects of fundraising campaigns to raise funds for the LDF to ensure its long-term financial viability.
