We Fight Discrimination
People come to us when they’ve experienced discrimination. Often, they want to take action, but are unsure of what to do next. That’s where we come in. We provide a supportive, affirming place for our clients to reclaim their agency and advocate for accountability.
We advocate for civil rights.
We envision a world without discrimination, where all people are treated with compassion and respect. In service of that vision, we stand up to discrimination at work, in public places and businesses, in doctors’ offices, hospitals, and other medical settings, and in housing. We fight all kinds of discrimination – unfair treatment due to bias because of our client’s race, gender, health conditions or disability, LGBTQ status, age, national origin, language, immigration status, religion or other legally-protected traits. We use an array of civil rights laws, including the California Unruh Civil Rights Act, Fair Employment and Housing Act, and the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act to advocate for more equitable places and spaces.
We ensure people with health conditions and disabilities are treated fairly.
We know what it’s like to navigate the world with health issues and disabilities – it’s why we’re passionate about making the world more inclusive for everyone. We use California’s Disabled Persons Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other civil rights laws to help people with health conditions and disabilities understand their rights, ask for reasonable accommodations, fight discrimination, and advocate for fair treatment.
We partner with non-profits, community groups, grassroots organizations.
We’re passionate about partnering with community organizations to fight discriminatory practices, policies, and behavior. We specialize in coordinating legal and organizing strategy, and shine when we’re helping organizational, activist, and grassroots clients use the legal system to fight for equal rights for all.
