Justice for some is not justice at all. Our organization was founded to advance equal justice—breaking down barriers to achieving safety, stability, and wellbeing for the communities we serve. We are passionate about using our professional expertise in public interest law to build strong communities. We believe that true justice requires us to embody and uplift our shared humanity not just in our advocacy and services, but also in our workplace and the communities we serve.

We recognize that achieving justice is a continuous journey—one that requires reflection, learning, and action. For over 95 years, we have sought to drive meaningful change by maintaining a commitment to:

• Creating a workplace where all staff, backgrounds, and perspectives are valued.
• Ensuring fair access to professional growth and opportunities at all levels.
• Respecting the dignity and humanity of our communities, by providing services that are responsive, accessible, and accommodating, while reaching communities where they are.
• Developing programs that proactively address the unique challenges faced by impoverished communities.
• Committing to continuous learning and accountability, by listening to our employees and the communities we serve, adapting our approach, and celebrating the unique experiences that strengthen us all.

Justice is not just what we fight for—it’s how we work, how we lead, and how we show up every day.
