Urban Justice Center

Urban Justice Center (UJC) is a pioneering legal tech startup that has been at the forefront of driving social change since its inception in 1984. Founded by Douglas Lasdon, UJC has evolved from humble beginnings in a burned-out building in East Harlem to become a beacon of hope for tens of thousands of individuals annually. Comprising several long-standing Anchor Projects, UJC addresses critical issues such as homelessness, discrimination, asylum-seeking, and intimate partner violence. The organization's expertise lies in combining impactful litigation, social services, community organizing, legislative advocacy, "know your rights" trainings, and more to drive tangible, lasting change. Additionally, through its Social Justice Accelerator, UJC supports and nurtures innovative new projects aimed at addressing emerging social justice issues. As UJC continues to uphold its mission of creating a just, fair, and decent society, it remains a dynamic advocate for social change.
