Ways to Give

Investment in our work helps all Chicago-area communities secure equal access to quality legal representation — regardless of income or background.

We believe in equal access to justice for all.

At GCLC we believe everyone deserves equal access to quality legal representation, regardless of income or background. Unfortunately, that is not the reality for many. Civil legal problems disrupt the safety and security of too many members of low-income and underrepresented communities.

By investing in GCLC’s work, you help fellow Chicagoans realize housing stability, navigate the complexities of immigration court to reunite their families, reverse cannabis-related misdemeanor convictions, rebuild their lives following domestic or gender-based violence, fight environmental discrimination, and so much more.
