Who We Work With
NCLEJ has forged an ambitious agenda of litigation, policy advocacy, and support for low-income organizing to advance the cause of economic justice for low-income families and individuals throughout this country. We have been fortunate to work in partnership with national public interest advocates, private law firms, legal services lawyers, and grassroots groups, and acknowledge and thank them below.
