Dear Friend,

Our End-of-June fundraising deadline is right around the corner, and I’d like to ask for your help to meet our grassroots fundraising goal of $5,000. Below, I’m going to talk more about why the support of grassroots individuals is so important for our organization. But if you’d like to donate right away to support our movement, you can do so by clicking here.

With only a handful of legal staff, NCLEJ has nevertheless helped improve the lives of millions of people around the country by fighting to expand access to public benefits, standing up for low-income workers, and securing major victories up to the Supreme Court.  

We are a lean organization that punches well above our weight. But because of our size, the truth is that we can’t take on additional cases without the necessary financial resources to do so. Many of our legal cases take years to achieve full resolution. And our policy advocacy and support for grassroots organizing is not a sprint, but rather a marathon that requires commitment and funding over the long term. 

No donation is too small nor too big. Anything you can spare will help us build our capacity so that we can take on more cases, set bigger goals, and secure even greater victories for America's most vulnerable communities.  

By chipping in through either a one-time or a recurring donation, you can help us fight in the courts and on the ground to:

• Expand access to critical benefits like food stamps, Medicaid, and unemployment insurance
• Protect the rights, benefits, and safety of low-wage workers
• Advance the rights of people with disabilities
• Reform unjust law enforcement practices that harm communities of color
• End unlawful debt collection
• And so much more!

I urge you to make NCLEJ a priority in your charitable contributions. As a friendly reminder, all contributions to our nonprofit organization are tax-deductible.

Thank you,

Dennis Parker
Executive Director, National Center for Law and Economic Justice

In case you missed it, we recently debuted a new video showcasing our work at the intersection of racial, economic, and disability justice. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, I urge you to do so now.
