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 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.

Hear from donors why they choose to support the PJC.
