Access, Justice and Equality May Make Good Policy . . .

Our projects involve partnering community stakeholders with our pro bono volunteers to develop innovative solutions promoting economic justice, access to the courts and legal services, affordable healthcare, education and housing.

. . . But They’re Even Better in Practice

We don’t just propose solutions; we act on them. With our pro bono and community partners, we develop and implement practical advocacy strategies and put our network to work.

The Economic Opportunity Project

Our Economic Opportunity Project increases access to quality financial services and develops model partnerships promoting economic justice. With a consortium of local Haitian immigrant hometown associations, we translated and updated Appleseed’s pioneering financial literacy materials, presented community workshops and are working with pro bono counsel Clifford Chance LLP to develop a model community investment fund to promote small and medium entrepreneurship.

Healthcare Access Project

With pro bono partners Arent Fox, Dewey LeBoeuf and Huron Consulting Group, we are expanding access to healthcare for immigrants and low-income workers through public-private partnerships and local advocacy for insurance plan.
