The Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs works with local communities of color to create legal, economic, and social equity through litigation, client and public education and public policy advocacy. On a daily basis, we fight for education equity, disability justice, fair housing, workers’ rights, criminal legal system reform, immigrant justice, and an end to hate.
