Center for Law and Social Policy
Non-profit
The Center for Law and Social Policy was founded in August 1969. The National Women's Law Center began when female administrative staff and law students at the Center for Law and Social Policy demanded that their pay be improved, that the center hire female lawyers, that they no longer be expected to serve coffee, and that the center create a women's program. Marcia Greenberger was hired in 1972 to start the program and Nancy Duff Campbell joined her in 1978. In 1981, the two decided to turn the program into the separate National Women's Law Center.

The Grim Reality Behind a New Census Report
By Wendy Chun-Hoon Excerpt from op-ed: Earlier this month, the U.S. Census Bureau released its annual report on the nation’s poverty rate.
