Description
The Campaign for Equal Justice was established in 1991 and works to support 91 legal aid attorneys in 16 communities throughout Oregon. Our mission is to champion access to justice for low-income Oregonians through education and by working to increase funding for legal aid. We educate the community on the work being done by Oregon's legal services programs, and also on the great need for increased services. Because only 20% of the legal needs of low-income Oregonians can be met with current resources, we work to increase funding through grants, foundation support, state and federal funding, and direct fundraising from private attorneys. The Oregon legal community has responded generously, helping the Campaign to raise more than $12,000,000 over the last fifteen years.
