Our work Is

About Us
The People’s Parity Project is made up of law students and attorneys organizing nationwide to end how the legal profession—and the law itself—enables injustice.
We are committed to demystifying and dismantling the coercive legal tools that allow the powerful to get away with violating workers’ rights, ripping off consumers, and shielding corporations and the courts from accountability.
KNOWLEDGE
Collect information about how the legal system enables injustice to educate our communities.
SOLUTIONS
Identify and implement best practices to improve how we address pervasive problems.
POWER
Use our collective voice in the legal profession to make the law work for everyone, not just the powerful.

Bullshit by @Venmo (who’s shocked?) — but an important reminder that you can still opt out of their forced arbitration clause. The cost of printing and postage is most certainly worth it.
Hey @Venmo, nice “opt out”option of your arbitration agreement, which is buried on your website and requires you to print and mail a physical form. You’re a digital company; you know most of your users won’t print and mail a form to opt out. @PeoplesParity
Daily reminder: judicial nominations and appointments matter to our health. It is vital to invest in advocacy & organizing that challenges right wing judges' control of our futures. This can't just be lawyers & law students - everyone must engage in these fights. @PeoplesParity https://twitter.com/rafaelshimunov/status/1516403815016284163
I’m just now very late learning that the Trump appointed federal judge who overturned mask mandates was deemed unqualified by the bar association for her lifetime job, citing her only trial experience was… two single day cases as a law student.
If you’re a progressive lawyer or law student, idk this is probably one of the things you want to be doing this summer 🥳 https://twitter.com/PeoplesParity/status/1516156446865510400
