I also represent Pro-Palestine, anti-racism/BLM, and anti-ICE protesters pro bono.
I'm not a nonprofit and take no government funding, because the Legal Services Corporation, the government agency that funds legal aid nonprofits, prohibits its recipients from representing undocumented people and I won't turn anyone away because of their immigration status.
