Corporate counsel from the Bank of New York Mellon Corp., General Electric Co., Johnson & Johnson, Verizon Wireless, Dell Technologies and several other sizable companies have joined with major law firms and a national network of pro bono lawyers as part of an effort to drive systemic change and racial justice. 

The Lawyers for Racial Justice initiative is a new creation of the Lawyers for Good Government Foundation, or L4GG, a national nonprofit network of legal advocates formed after the 2016 election.
