Racial Justice Statement

Northeast Legal Aid and its affiliate, Northeast Justice Center, recognize the racial and economic inequities facing communities of color.  We are committed to advancing equal justice for all, including black, brown, indigenous and people of color, who have been historically underserved, underrepresented, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent inequality and poverty.  We pursue these goals through our direct legal representation of clients before courts and administrative tribunals, through community engagement and education, and through our systemic advocacy on issues of racial justice and public benefits, which has an impactful benefit on large groups of marginalized communities.

We welcome our clients to report racial injustice to us so that we may continue to fight racial inequity together.
