People’s Parity Project

People’s Parity Project (PPP) is a movement of law students and attorneys organizing for a democratized legal system which empowers working people and opposes subordination in any form. Together, we are dismantling a profession that upholds corporate power and building in its place a legal system that reflects our values of justice, equity, and solidarity. PPP is committed to unrigging the civil legal system, focusing on the role lawyers and the legal profession have played in rigging that system. The organization’s focus is on righting lawyer-created harms and supporting the communities most impacted by those harms. PPP’s work is motivated by a desire to create a new kind of law student and lawyering: a legal culture that prioritizes true justice over prestige and what is right over what is profitable.
