Program areas at Chicago Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
Equitable Community Development and Housing - We work with grassroots organizations and coalitions in communities most affected by poverty, racial disparities, gentrification, and displacement. Our involvement helps communities that have been historically marginalized find innovative ways to secure investments in, and commitments to, affordable housing, local hiring, and environmental justice. We also provide legal advice and support to groups establishing community zoning boards, community land trusts, and using other approaches to ensure that the development in their communities is responsive to community needs and desires. Our housing group works to promote access to fair, safe, and affordable housing opportunities.
Voting Rights and Civic Empowerment - Our Voting Rights and Civic Empowerment work is designed to ensure equitable access for all citizens, especially those who have been historically disenfranchised or underrepresented, in the election process and civic decision making.
Education Equity - Our Education Equity team protects and promotes access to education by addressing the individual and systemic barriers that disproportionately impact historically disadvantaged communities of color. Our methods include empowering and building partnerships with students and community groups, advocating for systemic reforms, and providing direct legal services to students at risk of losing access to education due to racial discrimination, harsh discipline, re-enrollment barriers, or involvement in the criminal justice system.
