Building a just society
The Public Justice Center is a nonprofit legal organization that seeks to enforce and expand the rights of people who are denied justice because of poverty or discrimination. The PJC selects and designs its cases and projects to achieve systemic legal and social changes, using diverse strategies to advocate reforms. We advocate in the courts, legislatures, and government agencies, and through public education and coalition building. We work on behalf of tenants, workers, homeless children, prisoners, and people in need of health and other public benefits.
