The I AM COMMITTED campaign was initiated by Hamilton Community Legal Clinic/Clinique juridique communautaire de Hamilton (HCLC). We are a not-for-profit organization serving low income residents of Hamilton. In 2013 we established YÉN:TENE
(Mohawk for “you and I will go there together”), an Indigenous justice initiative that strives to build relationships between the Clinic and the Indigenous community.
