Fueling Debt-Free Justice

Our Policy Advocacy Clinic was awarded a three-year, $3 million grant from the Ballmer Group to expand its national Debt-Free Justice campaign (with the Juvenile Law Center and the National Center for Youth Law) to abolish fees and fines imposed on juvenile legal system youth and their families. The clinic’s research, which helped end such fees in several states, shows how they destabilize families and are racially discriminatory.
