The National Center for Law and Economic Justice fights to create structural change for a better future. From expanding access to critical public benefits, to advancing disability rights, to combating racist policing practices, our lawyers are litigating to ensure that low-income people cannot only survive, but thrive.
Our court victories have benefited hundreds of thousands of people nationwide. We forced the New York State Housing Authority to clean up toxic mold that sickened residents. We ended an unconstitutional medical debt collection system in Kentucky. And we’re helping low-income people gain access to their SNAP benefits across the country.
But here’s the hard truth – we can’t do our work alone. As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of people like you to keep our important 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.
