For 60 years, we’ve been litigating, advocating, and organizing to create structural change for a better future. We were founded at Columbia University during the Civil Rights Era, and over the decades we’ve won legal victories up to the Supreme Court that have led to reforms benefiting thousands of low-income people across the nation.
Now, the extreme administration of Donald Trump is taking aim at nonprofits, law firms, and the low-income communities we serve.
The work of NCLEJ is more important than ever, which is why we are asking you to make our organization a priority in your charitable contributions.
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.
