Democracy, human rights, and the rule of law are facing unprecedented threats around the world. Lawyers are one of our most critical lines of defense — fighting injustice, challenging corruption, and ensuring civil society can thrive.
At the Vance Center, we mobilize top lawyers from across the globe to provide pro bono support where it is needed most. Today, your donation will help us:
- Respond to urgent calls for legal assistance.
- Enable frontline organizations to defend their rights.
- Safeguard fundamental democratic principles, from a free press to an independent judiciary.
- Advance legal protections for the local communities, vulnerable groups, and individuals that our civil society clients support.
- Build a stronger, more equitable legal profession filled with lawyers committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting access to justice.
Stand with us as we stand with civil society.
Join our community of supporters today.
