Your support allows the Public Justice Center to advocate alongside people who are often disregarded when they speak up to defend their basic needs.
For over thirty-five years, we have taken a stand with those who would be ignored, oppressed, dismissed, and discounted. When landlords ignore tenants who raise concerns about rats and mold in their homes, we speak up in court. When employers ignore workers who question why they haven’t been paid, we sue for their wages.
Year in and year out, people like you have fueled the long fight to challenge the causes of poverty and inequity, to change the systems that keep people down.
Catalysts for Change give monthly or quarterly to power our pursuit of economic justice and racial equity. Set up an automatic monthly gift via credit card online or by contacting Dan Gugliuzza by email or at 410-625-9409 x281.
