Legal Aid of North Carolina is a civil non-profit law firm dedicated to providing equal justice to North Carolina residents who are experiencing poverty and marginalization.
Our fight for justice lies in racial justice: Unsafe housing conditions, predatory and abusive lending practices, dangerous working conditions, a school-to-prison pipeline. In our work, we see these often-fatal perils every day. They fall overwhelmingly, and heavily, on people of color.
Our mission is to ensure equal access to justice for all by removing legal barriers to economic opportunity. Join our fight. Support Legal Aid NC financially or by getting involved.
