The ACLU is an non-profit, non-partisan organization of people who believe in the power of action. We are united by the quest – “We the people dare to create a more perfect union.” Whether in the courts, statehouses, Congress or communities, we fight to defend the rights that the Constitution guarantees to all of us —regardless of who we are, where we come from, whom we love, or what we believe. Together, we take up the toughest civil rights and liberties challenges of our time. We seek to inspire those who want change to become the ones who make change.

California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc. (CRLA) is an anti-poverty law firm that dismantles unjust systems through community lawyering in California’s historically rural areas. We work with people priced out of private legal representation so they can uphold civil rights in housing, employment, health, and public education. We are a nonprofit but not a charity. Community lawyering builds shared power to generate legal strategies driven by the expertise and vision of communities. Our vision is a just and equitable world where all communities prosper. California’s historically rural areas have the diversity and insight that make them uniquely suited to build that world. Through our Rural Justice Centers, communities can access a broad range of legal tools at no charge, including direct legal services, specialized litigation to advance civil rights, and place-based advocacy to expand equity in civic institutions.
