Public Advocates, is a nonprofit civil rights law firm founded in 1971. We challenge the systemic causes of poverty and discrimination by promoting civil rights through advocacy, litigation, and partnership with low-income communities, people of color, and immigrants. Our multi-pronged strategy to promote equity and systemic change includes major civil rights impact litigation, legislative and administrative advocacy, policy advocacy projects, and coalition building with grassroots organizations. Our present work focuses on education equity, affordable housing, community economic development, transportation justice, and insurance redlining. We do not provide legal representation or counsel for individual clients. Please visit our website for more information about our past and present work: www.publicadvocates.org.
