The Seattle Community Law Center is committed to ending poverty and the oppression and exclusion of communities of limited economic means. We believe that advocacy to address our constituents' short term problems must be accompanied by advocacy for long term changes to prevent the perpetuation of these problems.

As such, we pursue two necessary and complementary activities. SCLC provides accessible direct legal assistance and representation to people of limited means with a focus on people who face barriers and are isolated. SCLC also seeks to work collaboratively with its targeted communities to empower their members to advocate for themselves and their neighborhoods.
