About Us

The North Carolina Justice Center is the state’s leading progressive advocacy and research organization. Our mission is to end poverty in North Carolina by ensuring that every household has access to the resources, services and fair treatment it needs to achieve economic security.

The Justice Center works to improve the lives of low- and moderate-income North Carolinians through five main strategies:

• Litigation of cases that will have widespread impact on public policy and protections
• Analysis of current public policies and research on alternatives that will reduce poverty
• Advocacy for policy changes that will benefit disadvantaged communities
• Community Education that empowers individuals and groups to pursue change
• Communication that influences state leaders and shapes public opinion

The Justice Center is home to a number of well-known specialized projects, including the NC Budget & Tax Center, the NC Health Access Coalition, the Immigrants Legal Assistance Project, the Poverty Law Litigation Project, and the Education & Law Project.

Support Opportunity and Justice For All

The NC Justice Center has garnered acclaim from elected officials, judges, the media, and community leaders as a passionate and influential voice for progressive change in North Carolina. Our highly skilled staff has improved the lives of literally hundreds of thousands – if not millions - of North Carolinians.
