Our Legal System is Rigged, &
Working People Pay the Price
Conservative and corporate interests have spent decades building a legal system that works for the wealthy and the powerful, not the people. It’s going to take deep, hard organizing work—a true movement dedicated to real justice, within and outside of our legal system—in order to build a better future. Will you join us?
About Us
People’s Parity Project is a movement of attorneys and law students organizing for a democratized legal system which values people over profits, builds the power of working people, and opposes subordination of anyform.

Our work focuses on building power for working people in the civil legal system through organizing, policy innovation, political education, and solidarity.
COMMUNITY
Bringing together lawyers and law students from around the country to unrig the law.
ORGANIZING
Doing the organizing and strategic short- and long-term advocacy needed to build a legal system that works for the people.
POWER
