The Center for Protest Law and Litigation (CPLL) works to protest and advance the rights of protestors to organize, assemble, and demand justice around the country. We defend free speech rights through affirmative civil litigation including against the mechanisms of police violence. We also provide criminal defense of protestors swept up in political arrests. We defend democracy and civil rights in the courts and in the streets. The CPLL is a project of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF). As leaders in bringing high impact civil rights and constitutional rights litigation for over 25 years, the PCJF has brought groundbreaking cases, changed laws and policies, and won millions in damages for persons whose rights have been violated. Our litigation work is integrated with outreach, education, and advocacy with affected groups, communities, activists, and organizations in racial, social, and environmental justice movements. Our work is focused ultimately on creating meaningful social, political, and legal changes and dismantling systems of repression. We are a small collaborative organization that is lean, nimble, flexible, and swift to adapt to emerging challenges and to challenge injustice. We welcome applicants who are committed to supporting our mission and who see themselves as thriving within a creative, supportive, collaborative, and professional team-working environment.
