We will be compassionate, relentless and courageous in the fight for justice.

We will fight against unjust and racist immigration laws, defend all people regardless of their birthplace or immigration status, and fight mass deportation as vigorously as we fight mass incarceration.
We will remain committed to racial justice. We will grow excellence among defenders.
We will honor the brilliance of the intergenerational resilience of our clients and their communities.

We will keep burning the flame of hopefulness because we know that hopelessness is the enemy of justice.
