As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of our\u00a0economic justice\u00a0project, BizGrow, we’re also\u00a0supporting 300 entrepreneurs<\/a>\u00a0with free legal and technical support.\u00a0As we emerge from the pandemic, this work\u00a0is critical to help revitalize the local economy and our communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re grateful to our pro bono partners, community allies and supporters.

In our latest\u00a0voting rights\u00a0battle, we’re demanding the dismantlement of the at-large electoral system in\u00a0Haverhill<\/a>.
We’re\u00a0standing against discrimination\u00a0on multiple fronts:\u00a0calling on federal authorities to\u00a0review the MBTA<\/a>\u00a0for compliance with federal civil rights laws; and\u00a0filing a federal\u00a0complaint against DCF<\/a>\u00a0on behalf of parents who don’t speak English to make sure the agency is more responsive to their needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
