OUR MISSION
To fight for justice and individual rights alongside the most exploited communities of our society.

OUR VISION OF JUSTICE
A rural California where all people are treated with dignity and respect, and guaranteed their fundamental rights.

WHO WE SERVE
CRLA serves low-income individuals residing in over 22 California counties. As rural areas and small cities of California continue to change, so does our outreach and service to diverse communities. CRLA clients also include individuals with disabilities, immigrant populations, school children, lesbian/gay/bisexual and transgender populations, seniors and individuals with limited English proficiency.

HOW WE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE
CRLA reaches over 39,000 individuals a year through a combination of advocacy strategies that: 1) increase access to high-quality, no-cost legal services; 2) ensure the equitable and fair distribution of resources in rural communities; and 3) protect the rights of low-income individuals to seek justice under the law.

OUR WORK
CRLA legal services are shaped by the needs of our diverse client community. Through a state-wide network of 21 offices, our staff conducts litigation, outreach and legal education on the most pressing issues facing low-income communities: housing; employment; education; workplace safety; discrimination; income maintenance and healthcare access. CRLA provides legal services in conjunction with innovative programs and special initiatives.

Reviews

Undergraduate Clerk for Community Equity Initiative

July 2018 - August 2018 Modesto, CA
“The small office was very easy to become a part of. Since it is so small, you know what everyone is working on and have the ability to ask to work on many different projects, if you're not already given them. The Community Equity Initiative is a great way to get involved with the local community while pursuing ongoing projects.”
