Please consider donating to the California Public Defenders Association Advocacy Efforts

California’s indigent defenders are on the front lines of the system every day, fighting to protect constitutional rights, for racial justice, and to ensure that every person, regardless of wealth or status, is treated with dignity in the courts.

CPDA’s advocacy work turns those values into statewide change: better funding for indigent defense offices and laws that keep people out of cages and connected to their communities. This is true public safety. Your donation directly fuels this work, amplifying defender voices in the Capitol and safeguarding the rights of the most vulnerable. Together, we can transform our system into one rooted in fairness, humanity, and hope.
