The Equal Justice Coalition works on behalf of low income people and the legal community to educate policymakers and the public about the importance of civil legal aid to our communities and advocate for sufficient public funding for civil legal aid in Washington.
Justice for all is a cornerstone of our democracy.
However, every year over 80% of low-income people do not receive the necessary assistance to resolve their critical civil legal problems. Civil legal problems threaten fundamental human needs like housing, health, education, employment, economic stability, and safety.
Unfettered access to civil legal aid promotes fairness and justice. It helps families return to safe, productive lives and strengthens communities by preventing a spiral of costly social problems and ensuring a just society.
