Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights
Description
The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco (LCCRSF) Bay Area is a civil rights organization on the West Coast that works on impact litigation and provides direct services to low-income communities of color. Their mission is to work to dismantle systems of oppression and racism and build an equitable and just society. The organization is committed to challenging policies, institutions, and systems that are violent, unjust, and inequitable to BIPOC communities. LCCRSF amplifies the communities’ calls for justice through class action litigation, reports, and legislative and policy campaigns, to prevent future harm and to build affirmatively anti-racist equitable systems. Through their People’s Clinic, we provide legal assistance for those pursuing personal injury or small claims against law enforcement. We also work with Black and Brown youth who are consistent targets of harassment from police to address the discrimination they’ve experienced. LCCRSF leads policy development and impact litigation that directly supports the people and movements fighting for an end to police brutality and violent police practices.
