ADVOCACY
NACC’s vision is for every child, parent, and family to be well-supported in their community and have equitable access to justice through culturally responsive, client-centered legal representation.
To make that vision reality, NACC advocates at the state and federal level for high-quality legal representation and other reforms that advance justice for children and families.
