Mission
LEGAL VOICE WAS FOUNDED ON THE BELIEF THAT ALL WOMEN, GIRLS, AND LGBTQ+ PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE THEIR LIVES WITH DIGNITY, SAFETY, AND AUTONOMY. WE ADVANCE JUSTICE AND BUILD COMMUNITY POWER BY USING MULTIPLE STRATEGIES: LITIGATION, LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY, AND PUBLIC EDUCATION. AT THE HEART OF OUR ADVOCACY IS COMMUNITY-CENTERED LAWYERING, WHERE WE DO OUR WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADERS AND ACHIEVE SYSTEMIC CHANGE BY SUPPORTING MOVEMENTS LED BY/FOR BIPOC AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES. OUR OVERARCHING VISION IS TO CO-CREATE A WORLD WHERE WE ARE EACH SEEN IN OUR FULL HUMANITY AND THRIVE IN COMMUNITIES FREE FROM OPPRESSION AND RACISM.
