Pursuing Systemic Change to build a more Just Society
From left to right: Executive Director John Nethercut, Jennifer Pelton, Director of Development and Helena Nyman, Founder of the Hope Bus
We all see the faces of the hungry, the homeless, those without medical care, and the hard-working people who struggle to support their families. But we know that sympathy is not enough: we react with a sense of outrage and act to confront the institutions, laws and practices that create or allow injustice.
The Public Justice Center is a nonprofit legal advocacy organization founded in Maryland in 1985 that seeks to enforce and expand the rights of people who suffer injustice because of their poverty or discrimination. We advocate in the courts, legislatures, and government agencies, and through public education and coalition building. Current projects focus on tenants, workers, immigrants, prisoners, homeless children, families needing medical assistance, and creating a right to counsel in civil cases.
