Our Advocacy: Impact in Action
MLRI's lawyers and public policy advocates advance progressive solutions to systemic problems that affect low-income people and share effective solutions and strategies with other advocacy groups and policy makers. We litigate and serve as co-counsel in high-impact cases, offer testimony and track legislative priorities, provide detailed budgetary analysis for legislators, negotiate and comment on public policies and regulations, research and document inequities, and track racial disparities in income and wealth.
Our Issue Areas
MLRI advocacy is cross-substantive, providing us with a unique capacity to identity and address issues across multiple issue areas. Our issue areas include: Access to Justice/Court Reform, Child Welfare, Employment Law, Family Law & Domestic Violence, Health Care, Housing, Immigration, Income Stabilization/Benefits and Racial Equity/Civil Rights.
Websites Project
MLRI also coordinates two statewide websites that provide legal information for low-income people and for legal services advocates on a wide variety of civil legal matters.
- For General Public: www.MassLegalHelp.org
- For Advocates: www.MassLegalServices.org
As a general matter, MLRI does not provide legal representation to individual clients. If you are seeking individual representation, please contact a legal services office in your area.
