About Public Rights Project
Public Rights Project is the only national organization that provides local governments with the legal tools, strategy, and collective power to fight for civil rights. We partner with local governments to defend voting rights, safeguard tax dollars, and stop abuses of power. Together, we’re building a better democracy by ensuring that rights written into law translate into real protections — because rights that aren't enforced aren't rights at all.
