About this organization
Mission
To provide legal assistance to people living in poverty in order to promote social welfare.
About
In 2018, Equal Justice Under Law made significant accomplishments on behalf of people living in poverty. We took a step toward helping over 100,000 indigent residents of Michigan regain their driving privileges. We also made progress in preventing hundreds of thousands of residents of San Francisco from being kept in jailed solely because they are too poor to afford money bail. We continued our efforts to help thousands of indigent residents of Montana regain their driving privileges, and we filed a major action to help 1.4 million Texans regain their right to drive. We also filed a class action lawsuit in Oakland, California, to fight a private probation company that was abusing indigent probationers. Finally, we sued the city of Newark, Arkansas, for criminalizing people who are too poor to afford a home worth more than $25,000.
