"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice." On this MLK Day, we reflect on these powerful words from Dr. King’s Stride Toward Freedom as we continue our work at Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity (PLSE).

Our mission is rooted in the pursuit of that very justice. We believe that a fair society requires the removal of systemic barriers that keep our neighbors from reaching their full potential. By helping Philadelphians clear old criminal records, we are working to restore opportunity, community, and dignity.

Today, we recommit ourselves to the presence of justice by fighting for the social equity and second chances that every member of our community deserves.
