Advancement Project is a mid-sized nonprofit focused on policy, communications, and legal action to advance racial justice. Founded by veteran civil rights lawyers in 1999, the organization builds community-based solutions rooted in rigorous legal analysis and public education campaigns that echo the outcomes of landmark civil rights victories. Its on-the-ground work supports organized communities of color in dismantling unjust policies and reforming structures that undermine democratic promises, while actively promoting this approach among colleagues and allies in organizing, law, policy, and philanthropy.
Guided by a mission to develop and disseminate innovative ideas and models, Advancement Project aims to mobilize a broad national movement toward universal opportunity and a just democracy. Based in Washington, D.C., the nonprofit operates at the intersection of policy, advocacy, and civil rights activism to address systemic inequities. A recent development highlighting its collaborative approach is a partnership with MomsRising to host a webinar about the realities faced by immigrants in schools and communities.
