The National Center for Law and Economic Justice is one of the nation’s most prominent and respected nonprofits fighting for economic justice, powered by the unwavering belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed. Because poverty and lack of economic opportunity disproportionately impacts communities of color, people with disabilities, immigrants and families headed by women, we apply our strategies to advance racial, immigration, gender, and disability justice. We recognize this year’s honorees’ efforts in striving for fairness, equality, equity, and the belief that our nation should be one where no one lives in poverty. For further information, please contact Kara Minogue at (212) 665-1441 or kara@karaminogue.com It is with the generosity of our Benefit Sponsors that we are able to offer the opportunity to anyone that would like to attend this special event, to join us as a guest of NCLEJ. We look forward to sharing the Center’s work with a wider audience and hope to engage our extended community.
