Racial Equity Attorney
During COVID-19, the Center for Public Representation (CPR) challenged discrimination against people with disabilities, the BIPOC community, and institutionalized persons across the country. In order to build on this intersectional work, CPR is expanding its racial equity activities and systemic reform initiatives. CPR seeks an attorney with at least three years of experience to assist in this effort, to work directly with impacted and under-resourced communities, and to challenge the historical and structural racism that contributes to health inequities.
CPR is a national legal advocacy center that has been advancing the civil rights of people with disabilities for over 45 years. Through its systemic advocacy, CPR has been a major force in promoting civil rights, community integration, self-determination, and improvements in services for people with disabilities throughout the country. We provide training and technical assistance programs to the National Disability Rights Network in all fifty states and territories and to Massachusetts-based legal services programs.
