Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Justice for the People Legal Centers mission shall include but not be limited to the provision of legal services, grassroots organizing, and education to people and communities who have historically endured harm and trauma caused by our justice system in an effort to democratize, decolonize and liberate land, housing and wealth towards a solidarity economy.
Activities or mission (Part I)
The Justice for the People Legal Center is working to bring a local organizing approach to the legal world and protect tenants against predatory landlords.
-
Direct Representation/Impact Litigation: 1. Impact litigation, collective lawsuits and class action lawsuits to provide material relief to thousands of tenants as well as to set enforcement precedent, shape future legislation, and bolster social movement work in general. 2. Individual eviction defense representation and legal advice. Over the last year, we have directly represented over 50 clients and are currently engaged in over a dozen class action lawsuits. Our impact litigation has the potential to materially benefit almost 80,000 households across Colorado, 17,000 of which are at 200% or below the federal poverty level. Our litigation work has been featured in over 30 media sources.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
