关于我们
CGLA was established in 1973 to serve legal needs arising from the lack of opportunity, criminalization of poverty, and racial inequity experienced within the Cabrini Green community. Since then, CGLA has grown beyond a single neighborhood to become a citywide, countywide, and now recognized statewide leader in supporting low-income individuals negatively impacted by the criminal justice system. Our goal is to ensure that people are able to move beyond the barriers to achieve positive outcomes and lead successful lives. Annually, CGLA serves over 7,000 clients, and each year, we continue to evolve, strengthen, and better address the needs of our community on their journey to justice.

Black History Month is more than a celebration—it’s a call to remember, reflect, and continue the work of those who came before us. Their voices, struggles, and triumphs guide us as we push toward true equity and justice. At Cabrini Green Legal Aid, our roots run deep in this mission. Founded in the Cabrini Green housing projects, CGLA was born from the demands of residents who fought against systemic inequalities and sought legal support to reclaim their rights. Their fight is our foundation, and their resilience fuels our work today. As we honor Black history, we recommit to the pursuit of justice, ensuring that every person—no matter their background—has access to the legal resources they deserve. #BlackHistoryMonth #VoicesOfJustice #EquityInAction
