Advancing justice at regional and statewide levels through advocacy and impact litigation

Our Impact for Clients and Communities

We pursue the most effective legal strategy for each of our individual clients, who are the heart and soul of our work. Through that work we identify and pursue opportunities for advocacy and affirmative litigation to prevent the underlying legal barriers and issues from harming, exacerbating and entrenching others in poverty. This work originates and is centered in our local Bay Area counties, but often leads us to regional, statewide or even national levels to support our clients’ rights to health, self-sufficiency, stable housing, self-empowerment, dignity, and freedom from violence

Systemic Advocacy

Our systemic advocacy leverages relationships with policy leaders and public agencies to help proactively resolve issues before they enter litigation.
