Mission Statement
The Legal Action Center (LAC) uses legal and policy strategies to fight discrimination, build health equity, and restore opportunity for people with arrest and conviction records, substance use disorders, and HIV or AIDS.
About This Cause
Since our founding in 1973, LAC has utilized a multi-pronged approach to achieving our mission, which includes: direct legal services, impact litigation, policy advocacy, education and training, and coalition-building. Our 100% free legal services are offered through our New York City office to individuals who have arrest or conviction records, substance use disorders, HIV, or AIDS and face discrimination in health care, employment, housing, education, and more. Our impact litigation establishes important precedents to defend the civil rights of our constituents on a broader scale. Similarly, our policy advocacy at the national, state, and local levels helps to protect access to health care, opportunity, and justice for all. And all our work is interconnected - our work with individuals informs our advocacy priorities, while our movement with partners and policymakers helps to elevate the services and resources we are able to provide.
