Through its active litigation docket of more than 100 matters, including individual cases, class actions, and larger institutional reform cases, and supplemented by its robust organizing, policy, and advocacy work, the Committee promotes fairness and equality in the areas of housing, education, employment, public accommodations, rights of those who are incarcerated, immigrant rights, and the criminal legal system.
