MOBILIZATION FOR JUSTICE'S (MFJ) MISSION IS TO ACHIEVE JUSTICE FOR ALL. MFJ PRIORITIZES THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LOW-INCOME, DISENFRANCHISED, OR HAVE DISABILITIES AS THEY STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME THE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL INJUSTICE AND SYSTEMIC RACISM. WE PROVIDE THE HIGHEST-QUALITY FREE, DIRECT CIVIL LEGAL ASSISTANCE, CONDUCT COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND BUILD PARTNERSHIPS, ENGAGE IN POLICY ADVOCACY, AND BRING IMPACT LITIGATION. MFJ ALSO PROMOTES DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION IN OUR WORKPLACE, AND UNDERSTANDS THE NEED TO ELIMINATE ALL RACIAL DISPARITIES TO ACHIEVE JUSTICE FOR ALL. false false 11755971 89989 HOUSING: Mobilization for Justice works to preserve affordable housing for low-income New Yorkers and prevent homelessness by providing advice, counsel and representation to residents on a wide range of housing issues, including to prevent evictions, obtain repairs, defend succession rights, contest incorrect rents and challenge landlord harassment, among other issues. We also help people preserve their homes by representing them in foreclosure actions. 3341299 67272 DISABILITY AND AGING RIGHTS: Mobilization for Justice provides civil legal services for people with mental illness living in the community, including those living in Adult Homes and for seniors living in Nursing Homes. We also work on transportation accessibility. 2607845 5000 Economic Justice: MFJ's economic justice practice area works to ensure that low-income New Yorkers can access public benefits (such as disability benefits, SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program], and health insurance); ensure people get the wages to which they are entitled and get unemployment benefits and workers compensation where appropriate, and formerly incarcerated people get licenses so they can successfully reenter the workforce. We work with people to avoid crippling debt, and challenge predatory and deceptive lending practices. Because resolving immigration problems is often key to ensuring economic stability, we also provide legal services in this area. 2306738 279430 children's Rights 2306738 279430 20011853 true true
