Shriver Center on Poverty Law

Mission

The Shriver Center on Poverty Law is leading the fight for economic and racial justice. Policies and laws that create and perpetuate poverty and racial inequity are written into the fabric of our nation. They’re complex, rooted in institutions, structures, and systems in every state. For that reason, people experience poverty differently based on their race and other identities, but all are denied dignity and freedom by institutional barriers designed to harm certain groups while advantaging others.
