We're excited to bring you an audio story produced by our Communications and Storytelling Intern, Anya Moore!

Featuring interviews with Breach Board Member Camila Bustos, Memphis Community Against Pollution Community Organizer Justin J. Pearson, and Breach Climate and Energy Attorney Nick Caleb, this podcast explores the concept of movement lawyering and the role it could play in the future of law in this country.

All too often, we see lawyers step into the role of savior, imposing their leadership on their clients, whose voices quickly become drowned out. But as the political tides change and a new generation begins stepping into the courtroom, we are starting to recognize that law alone won’t solve our communities’ challenges. Surging social movements have begun to take the helm of political transformation across the country, and this rise of movement activism calls for a new kind of lawyering, one in which we build up the power of the people, not just the power of the law.

This is where movement lawyering comes in.
