Help us honor the legacy of Michael Ratner and keep up the fight!
On October 6, 2016, the Center for Constitutional Rights launched the Michael Ratner Campaign for the Next Generation, rooted in the values that have always guided us and aimed at building a future as strong as our past. The Campaign deepens our capacity to act as the go-to legal and advocacy partner of social justice movements, spend more time on the ground, shoulder-to-shoulder with our partners, and recruit, mentor, and train young movement lawyers and advocates!
