Mission Statement

The Phyllis Wheatley Community Lawyering Project is dedicated to providing free legal services to low income residents of North Minneapolis. The PWCLP works with community leaders, neighborhood organizers, and individuals to empower low-income residents of North Minneapolis to:

  • Speak for themselves
  • Affect change on their own terms
  • Build stronger neighborhoods.

The PWCLP is one part of an effort to build a community of support to address the chronic problems facing new and old residents of North Minneapolis by enfranchising neighborhoods one at a time.
