Founded during the 1960s “War on Poverty,” the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) has a rich history of supporting legal aid lawyers and private attorneys in their fight against exploitative financial practices. The organization’s extensive expertise spans a wide range of consumer issues, including predatory lending, debt collection, and credit discrimination. NCLC’s work involves policy analysis, litigation, and training, and it collaborates with numerous partners to promote economic fairness and address systemic inequalities, particularly through its Racial Justice and Equal Economic Opportunity Project.
