2023 IN REVIEW
A Year of Impact:
In Pursuit of Equal Justice for All Texans
Our mission is to ensure equal justice for all Texans by educating, empowering, and representing vulnerable people while reshaping the greater legal system that impacts us all.
With the support of grantors, volunteers and donors, we continue to empower Texans by:
Breaking Language Barriers
Advocating for the thousands of Texans with limited English proficiency to have full access to the justice system.
Our Impact Litigation team filed a complaint against Harris County for its refusal to provide interpreters and translations for people who have limited English proficiency. This could lead to thousands of Texans receiving the full rights entitled to them under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
This is the single best resource for legal help for people that cannot afford an attorney.
