Welcome

Bread and Roses is a social justice legal center. We aim to disrupt the harms the legal system inflicts on our communities. 

Legal Services 

Movement Support

We provide a variety of representation including defense against criminal charges, ​gender affirming legal services, access to reproductive health care, record sealing, resolving warrants, and more based on an individual's ability to pay. We believe that our clients know what they need and place them at the center of our representation.  

Additionally, Bread and Roses supports individuals who are operating small businesses, collectives, alternative economies, community art, and other live and resource giving projects. 

​

We ​support social movements by working with activists, organizations, and affinity groups to understand their legal rights and how we can protect each other from violence, backlash, and repression. This includes criminal defense, consulting, trainings, anti-SLAPP support, and emergency response. 

We also partner with movement organizations and artists to partner in creating art as well as campaigns that create systems change informed by those most impacted. 

Organizing

We use grassroots organizing to meet folks most impacted by our issues, typically at the intersection of trans justice and the carceral legal system, to build high impact and uncompromising campaigns for trans futures. 

We exist to disrupt the harm that the legal system causes people, communities, and social movements.
