A Note About Meeting This Moment<\/p>\n
After a significant cut in federal funding, CCSLS was forced to make difficult budget decisions, including the loss of one full-time staff attorney. We cannot afford to lose another. To protect vital services, CCSLS has launched our Fund an Attorney Campaign with a goal of raising $100,000. This campaign will culminate at our special event fundraiser on Sept 3rd.<\/p>\n
Together, we\u2019ll raise critical funds to retain an Attorney to protect the rights and dignity of low-income seniors across our community\u2014ensuring they remain housed, safe, and free from abuse or financial harm.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"justice-for-seniors-a-night-of-impact","image":{"url":"https:\/\/mcecleanenergy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/seniors.png","id":68806,"extension":"png","width":460,"height":196,"filesize":170503,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":128,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":36319,"url":"https:\/\/mcecleanenergy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/seniors-300x128.png"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":24420,"url":"https:\/\/mcecleanenergy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/seniors-150x150.png"},"trp-custom-language-flag":{"width":18,"height":8,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":4625,"url":"https:\/\/mcecleanenergy.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/seniors-18x8.png"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-09-03 19:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"09","day":"03","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2025-09-03 21:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"09","day":"03","hour":"21","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2025-09-04 02:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"09","day":"04","hour":"02","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2025-09-04 04:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"09","day":"04","hour":"04","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Los_Angeles","timezone_abbr":"PDT","cost":"$57","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":["57"]},"website":"https:\/\/www.ccsls.org\/support-us\/events\/","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":68804,"status":"publish","date":"2025-08-20 08:50:10","date_utc":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","modified":"2025-08-20 08:50:10","modified_utc":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","url":"https:\/\/mcecleanenergy.org\/ar\/venue\/","venue":"Pleasant Hill Senior Center","address":"233 Gregory Ln.","city":"Pleasant Hill","zip":"94523","geo_lat":37.9496316,"geo_lng":-122.067366,"json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Pleasant Hill Senior Center","description":"","url":"https:\/\/mcecleanenergy.org\/ar\/venue\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"233 Gregory Ln.","addressLocality":"Pleasant Hill","postalCode":"94523"},"geo":{"@type":"GeoCoordinates","latitude":37.9496316,"longitude":-122.067366},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"mcecleanenergy.org\/ar?id=68804","global_id_lineage":["mcecleanenergy.org\/ar?id=68804"]},"organizer":[{"id":68805,"status":"publish","date":"2025-08-20 08:50:10","date_utc":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","modified":"2025-08-20 08:50:10","modified_utc":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","url":"https:\/\/mcecleanenergy.org\/ar\/organizer\/","organizer":"Contra Costa Senior Legal Services","website":"https:\/\/www.ccsls.org\/","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"Contra Costa Senior Legal Services","description":"","url":"https:\/\/www.ccsls.org\/","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.ccsls.org\/"},"global_id":"mcecleanenergy.org\/ar?id=68805","global_id_lineage":["mcecleanenergy.org\/ar?id=68805"]}],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Justice for Seniors: A Night of Impact","description":"<p>Join us for an interesting evening on Wednesday, September 3rd from 7-9pm at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center that will benefit Contra Costa Senior Legal Services.
