“I can’t recommend Civil Survival enough. I work with Native American and Indian youth in the Northwest through the Team-Works Academy programs. I believe Civil Survival enhances youth leadership by teaching practical life skills which build self esteem and self confidence. Civil Survival provides a clear, easy to understand approach to the U.S. legal system. It is a welcome resource for our people.
Zoe Higheagle Strong, Executive Director Hope worldwide Washington
“Racial bias continues to infect our psyches, practices and public policy. I have no doubt that the Civil Survival Series, which can be used to teach everyone basic legal rights and responsibilities, will help to counter racial inequity, and move us toward a more just and inclusive society.” Kaia Stern, Director, Prison Studies Project and Adviser to the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Law at Harvard Law School “Access to this quality legal education—Civil Survival-- should be in the pathway of every student; learning our rights and responsibilities is important to having a better life and being an informed citizen.” Alice Madsen, Dean of Workforce Instruction, Highline Community College “The Civil Survival Series provides wonderful tools for case managers to help our families toward self-sufficiency.”
Doreen Cato, Executive Director, First Place School "These books provide a complete and understandable way for average people (you and me!) to learn about and pursue their legal rights." Roz Solomon, Principal, IA Consulting Sharon Allerson, Vice Chair of the English Department at East Los Angeles Community College writes: "East Los Angeles College, located in Monterey Park, CA, is a large, urban college serving over 34,000 students, 67% of whom are Latino. Given the diverse cultural and linguistic landscape, many of our students come to us needing to upgrade their academic skills so that they may attain their academic and professional goals. Many of these same students are still learning the ropes regarding their legal rights in the workplace and in many other situations. Civil Survival’s legal guides and workbooks provide an important resource for our students to empower them both in the classroom and in life.
Several years ago, we participated in the beta test for Civil Survival’s previous software programs and are excited to see the new materials in print! The legal guides and workbooks will be a tremendous resource to our noncredit Adult Basic Skills/GED program as well as for our vocational ESL courses. As a reading instructor, I intend to adopt the guides in my classes in the future – talk about bringing meaningful materials into the classroom! There are many academic/credit classes that will be able to utilize these important books and workbooks."
We have already ordered sets of Civil Survival’s legal guides and workbooks for our library. These sets will be housed both in the stacks and the reference section. Many of the departments and offices that serve students in various capacities need to get their own sets of the legal guides! In the English department, our secretary is currently reading Your Rights Renting a Home to help her deal with a problem with her landlord.
Thank you, Civil Survival, for these tremendous and empowering resources!"
