Executive Director of JustCause Tina Foster. The Volunteer Legal Services Project of Monroe County will now be known as JustCause, and in the spirit of its new name its leadership has asked every attorney in Rochester to donate at least one hour of pro bono legal assistance to the organization in 2021. Executive Director Tina Foster said the name change is a call for action, with a hope that JustCause could reach 2,000 volunteers this year. “JustCause is a different kind of organization, we want our brand to communicate that to volunteers and clients alike,” Foster said, at a news conference Thursday morning. “Law, yes, community, yes, but there’s more. There’s passion, there’s connection, there’s compassion.this is not a spectator sport. Justice requires action.”

Although Majestic Hair Design is open for business, owner Debbie Wise hasn’t spent much of the week doing hair at the Irondequoit salon.
Instead, she has been screening calls on behalf of Catholic Family Services, helping people who are applying for rental assistance through the Eviction Prevention Pilot Initiative.
Wise is among 25 salon owners who also serve as community health educators for Common Ground Health. The program trains stylists and barbers to educate their clients on health care and to connect them to providers.
She said it was a good fit because as a hairstylist, she is used to people opening up about their problems.
