Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Civil Rights, Civil Rights, Social Action & Advocacy
Mission: Our mission is to defend and advance fundamental civil, constitutional and human rights secured by the u. S. Constitution and under law.
Programs: Litigation program: litigation to defend human rights and civil rights as secured by law. The larger component of this program is the defense of constitutional rights to free speech and assembly (u. S. Constitution, first amendment), the right to be free from arbitrary and unconstitutional police or government misconduct (u. S. Constitution, fourth amendment) and to be free from discrimination and have the benefit of equal protection of the law (u. S. Constitution, equal protection clause). A growing litigation program component focuses on open government and government accountability and focuses on public records litigations when public authorities fail to disclose public information on request.
education program: equal in importance to litigation as an organizational function, the pcjf seeks to educate the public about their rights and also to educate legal professionals in skills to protect and defend constitutional rights. The pcjf's educational activities to the public at large are intended to bring public awareness to constitutional and civil rights violations and provide relevant background and information in a manner that is widely accessible and understandable.
