About
Founded 1989
Ascend Justice is an organization driven by a commitment to its mission. We aim to uplift individuals and families who have been affected by gender-based violence or the child welfare system; our goal is to foster safety and stability through comprehensive legal support and reform initiatives. Established in 1982 as Pro Bono Advocates, evolving into the Domestic Violence Legal Clinic for 14 years, we are now known as Ascend Justice. Our ongoing efforts focus on enhancing the safety and autonomy of survivors of domestic violence by providing expert legal advocacy infused with compassion. Through our work, we strive to fortify communities where individuals possess the strength to successfully navigate equitable systems and rise above experiences of violence.
