Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, San Francisco (LCCRSF)

As one of the oldest civil rights institutions on the West Coast, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area (LCCRSF) works to dismantle the many manifestations of institutionalized racism and oppression of Black communities and other people of color.

Formed in 1968 to bridge the legal community and the Civil Rights Movement, LCCRSF is known for advancing the rights of people of color, immigrants, refugees and low-income individuals. Our grounding in community and direct legal services help us identify the most pressing civil rights issues and informs the broader impact litigation and policy advocacy we undertake. Not only do we fight oppression and construct more just systems and institutions, we build the movement by investing in legal fellows and supporting a network of over 1,000 active pro bono attorneys who fight alongside us.
