How we work
Local government officials need additional capacity, training, and immediate, nimble legal support to challenge abuses of power. We have solutions.
Litigation: We provide direct legal representation to local governments in cases where state leaders work to strip power from communities.
Training: We provide training that prepares local government officials with the skills to be able to litigate effectively — either with us or on their own.
Convenings: We bring local government officials together to foster collaboration, address civil rights challenges, and develop actionable solutions.
Storytelling: We share stories of local officials standing up for rights protection and pushing back against power grabs by state officials.
