Mission Statement

Mission Statement

The Law and Policy Group, Inc. bridges the gap between laws,  policies, and the people governed by them. The Law and Policy Group, Inc. analyzes laws and policies which primarily affect the lives of children, women, and people of color and develops creative approaches to overcoming obstacles.

At The Law and Policy Group, Inc. we believe that gaining knowledge empowers each of us to better care for ourselves and for others.

A letter was written to Executive Director-Counsel Gloria J. Browne-Marshall by a young member of her audience. She had spoken to his class about the need to care for one another, even strangers.  This letter exemplifies our mission as an organization.

          Dear Miss Browne-Marshall: 

I liked when you said you had to go to the hospital and you saw a little boy in the corner with a broken nose. You went to the doctor in front and said, "This boy needs help." Then the doctor asked "Do you know this boy?" You said, "He is my brother." When I grow up I want to be a lawyer too so that I can change things and stand up for more people.

          Douglas 4th grade, Bronx Preparatory Charter School, New York.

If you would like to be a part of our mission, please contact us. We truly believe each one of us can serve in his or her own way.
