Georgia Legal Services Program Statement on Racial Justice

Given the toll that Covid-19 has taken on people of color including one of our colleagues and other individuals that were close to us, and the killing of another young man of color, Ahmaud Arbery, we join to take a stand. We unite together to make our voice heard on these important issues.

Georgia Legal Services Program’s mission is to provide civil legal services to persons with low incomes, creating equal access to justice and opportunities out of poverty. Poverty often is the result of discrimination, most often based on race. Despite GLSP’s history of challenging discrimination, bigotry and racism are too prevalent in Georgia.

We condemn racism, bigotry, sexism, and all forms of discrimination. We provide legal services to clients regardless of their race, sex, national origin, gender or sexual orientation.

We condemn violence. We value all people and believe that all people should be treated with dignity and respect. All people should feel safe to live and work free from violence or the threat of violence.

Our staff unites to reaffirm our commitment to fight for full inclusion for all, equality and justice. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote, “[i]njustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We stand up to the challenge allied with our staff and clients. We believe that advancing equality and inclusion are fundamental to the success of Georgia and the nation.
