We have entered a startling era of uncertainty in the long battle for civil rights and social justice. For 40 years, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest has partnered with the private bar and community leaders to bring the power of law and organizing to where it’s needed most. With collective progress now threatened by the new federal government, we have a renewed call to action in seeking dignity, equality, and justice for all New Yorkers.
NYLPI works with hundreds of nonprofit partners towards creating a New York where all people can thrive in their communities, with quality healthcare and housing, safe jobs, equal schools, and healthy neighborhoods. All New Yorkers should be able to live with dignity and independence, with the access and resources they need to succeed.
