We lead the fight for economic and racial justice by litigating, shaping policy, and training and connecting people in the advocacy community.
We don’t just fight for communities affected by poverty—we work alongside them, advocating for solutions that are informed by their lived experiences
We convene and connect advocates, community leaders, and activists across the country so they can share ideas, resources, and get the tools they need.
We build the capacity and skills of equal justice lawyers and activists to champion economic and racial justice in their fields.
From litigating and shaping policies in Illinois to training and convening multi-state networks of public interest attorneys, we work with and for the communities we serve to make equal justice and economic opportunity a reality.
States are on the frontlines of systems change for racial and economic justice.
The fight for racial and economic justice takes commitment from everyone—no one can stand on the sidelines anymore.
Unfair background screening practices create barriers to housing.
The Paid Leave for All Workers Act entitles employees to up 40 hours of paid leave each year.
The laws and policies behind poverty harm all of us. With you in the fight, we will be able to achieve it. Join us.
