This Spring, I urge you to make NCLEJ a priority in your charitable contributions. The End-of-Quarter on March 31 is our first major fundraising deadline of the year, and it’s critical that we raise $15,000 to stay on track towards our fundraising goals for 2024.
Every day, the lawyers of NCLEJ fight to advance racial, economic, and disability justice through our high-impact litigation work.
Here are a few highlights of how we’ve made an impact in recent months:
In Michigan, we secured a settlement that will, pending approval, bring more than $110 million in additional state spending to Michiganders with intellectual and developmental disabilities who rely on Medicaid Living Support services.
In Alaska, our litigation forced the State to make substantial progress towards addressing its ongoing SNAP delays, including halving its 10,000 person SNAP backlog within six months of our interim settlement.
In New York City, we achieved a major class action settlement with the New York City Transit Authority to significantly enhance fairness and due process for thousands of low-income New Yorkers who are disproportionately targeted for transit infractions.
The work we do is critical – and it requires serious commitment and funding over the long term. We rely on the generosity of people like you to keep our work going.
The National Center for Law and Economic Justice advances racial and economic justice through ground-breaking impact litigation, policy advocacy, and support for grassroots organizing. We have provided legal representation and support since 1965.
