About Neighborhood Defender Service Inc

neighborhooddefender.org

Neighborhood Defender Service is a community-based public defense organization that provides client-centered legal representation and advocacy for people facing criminal and related civil legal issues. It pairs direct defense work with community organizing, public education, and policy advocacy to challenge systemic inequities that drive incarceration and displacement. NDS runs targeted defense campaigns (for example, eviction-defense efforts), trains defenders and community members, and raises funds to support holistic, impact-focused public defense. The organization positions public defense as a tool for community power-building and systemic change.
