In addition to providing direct services to Alameda County residents and clinical legal education to students at Berkeley Law and beyond, EBCLC advances justice through systems-change work. We establish our policy priorities based on the issues that arise in our service provision, and we build solutions in collaboration with the community members we serve.
EBCLC is proud to work in close partnership with activists, community organizations, government agencies, philanthropic leaders, and the world-class social scientists and researchers at UC Berkeley to advance racial equity through policy changes. We also engage our emerging advocates—law and social work students—in doing this critical work, as a means of training them to be effective system-changers.
