| Desc | TOWARDS JUSTICE IS A NON-PROFIT LAW FIRM THAT ATTACKS ECONOMIC INEQUALITY WITH A FOCUS ON WORKPLACE ECONOMIC INJUSTICE. WE USE IMPACT LITIGATION TO ADVANCE HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS SUPPLEMENTED WITH TARGETED AND STRATEGIC POLICY ADVOCACY AND COLLABORATION WITH WORKERS AND COMMUNITIES TO ATTACK SYSTEMIC INJUSTICES THAT UNDERMINE THE POWER OF WORKERS-IN PARTICULAR, IMMIGRANT WORKERS AND WORKERS OF COLOR-TO OBTAIN FAIR WAGES AND DECENT WORKING CONDITIONS. IN 2020, TOWARDS JUSTICE PIVOTED TO SUPPORT WORKERS FACING UNSAFE CONDITIONS IN THE WORKPLACE DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. TOWARDS JUSTICE FILED LAWSUITS IN SUPPORT OF FRONTLINE WORKERS, LOW-WAGE WORKERS AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. THAT LITIGATION HAS BUILT POWER FOR WORKERS, HELD EMPLOYERS AND PUBLIC AGENCIES ACCOUNTABLE, AND SHIFTED PUBLIC DISCOURSE ON WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY. ADDITIONALLY, IN 2020, TOWARDS JUSTICE WORKED CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO PUSH FOR WORKER PROTECTIONS. AS PART OF THAT PUSH, TOWARDS JUSTICE HELPED DRAFT AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORADO ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, URGING THE OFFICE TO TAKE GREATER ACTION AGAINST WORKPLACE SAFETY VIOLATIONS. WHILE WE DO NOT OFTEN TAKE A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN POLICY DEBATES, IN 2020 TOWARDS JUSTICE SUPPORTED WORKERS SEEKING REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE REFORMS TO ADVANCE ECONOMIC JUSTICE. FIRST, TOWARDS JUSTICE LED A COALITION OF GROUPS IN DRAFTING AN AMICUS BRIEF TO THE COLORADO SUPREME COURT, HELPING TO PERSUADE THAT COURT TO ALLOW THE COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO GO ON RECESS DURING THE SPRING OF 2020 BEFORE RESUMING ITS LEGISLATIVE WORK WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO DO SO. ADDITIONALLY, TOWARDS JUSTICE HELPED TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO WORKERS AND POLICYMAKERS INTERESTED IN PROVIDING MORE EXPANSIVE PROTECTIONS AGAINST RETALIATION TO WORKERS COMPLAINING ABOUT COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES. OUTSIDE OF OUR PANDEMIC RELATED WORK, TOWARDS JUSTICE ALSO SUCCESSFULLY BROUGHT AND RESOLVED IMPACT LITIGATION CASES ADDRESSING SYSTEMIC INJUSTICES LIKE RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY EMPLOYER PRACTICES AND COERCIVE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS WITH WORKERS THAT KEEP THEM TRAPPED IN THEIR JOBS FOR LOW PAY AS A FORM OF MODERN INDENTURED SERVITUDE. WE RECENTLY OBTAINED A SEVERAL MILLION DOLLAR PROPOSED SETTLEMENT ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OF SUCH WORKERS. ALSO, IN 2020, WE SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON BEHALF OF HUNDREDS OF MOSTLY IMMIGRANT STAFFING AGENCY WORKERS. LASTLY, TOWARDS JUSTICE PARTNERED WITH LAW SCHOOL...YES WE CAN TO PROVIDE FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS INTERESTED IN LEGAL CAREERS WITH PAID INTERNSHIPS WITH TOWARDS JUSTICE. | Desc |

ADDITIONALLY, TOWARDS JUSTICE HELPED TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO WORKERS AND POLICYMAKERS INTERESTED IN PROVIDING MORE EXPANSIVE PROTECTIONS AGAINST RETALIATION TO WORKERS COMPLAINING ABOUT COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES. OUTSIDE OF OUR PANDEMIC RELATED WORK, TOWARDS JUSTICE ALSO SUCCESSFULLY BROUGHT AND RESOLVED IMPACT LITIGATION CASES ADDRESSING SYSTEMIC INJUSTICES LIKE RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY EMPLOYER PRACTICES AND COERCIVE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS WITH WORKERS THAT KEEP THEM TRAPPED IN THEIR JOBS FOR LOW PAY AS A FORM OF MODERN INDENTURED SERVITUDE. WE RECENTLY OBTAINED A SEVERAL MILLION DOLLAR PROPOSED SETTLEMENT ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OF SUCH WORKERS. ALSO, IN 2020, WE SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON BEHALF OF HUNDREDS OF MOSTLY IMMIGRANT STAFFING AGENCY WORKERS.
