For more than 50 years, the Washington Lawyers Committee has been working to dismantle racial injustice and pursue lasting change. With a new decade upon us, we stand ready to face new manifestations of discrimination. Our work is as important today as it has ever been.

Civil rights move forward when powerful communities partner with strong litigators to dismantle deep-rooted injustice. When we come together, we can empower our most vulnerable neighbors.

Meet Maurice Alexander - Mr. Alexander's housing application was wrongly rejected due to a 7-year-old, non-violent, non-drug related misdemeanor. Hear his full story above about why he wants to make sure others will not suffer the same injustice.

This is only one instance in which we were able to fight for justice thanks to the support of generous firms and individuals like you. This Spring, join us in making the most of this moment to pursue lasting change by supporting our 2021 Associates Campaign.
