Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors Joins Law Firm Antiracism Alliance

August 25, 2020 — Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors announced that the firm has joined the Law Firm Antiracism Alliance (LFAA). 

 The LFAA strives to create partnerships between the private bar with legal services organizations to amplify the voices of communities and individuals oppressed by racism. The LFAA aims to use the law as a vehicle to create change that helps communities of color and promotes racial equity. More than 260 law firms have joined the organization since its founding. To learn more, visit here.  

The Brewer firm has a long history of promoting civil rights and racial equality. The Brewer Storefront, the firm’s community service legal affiliate, has brought numerous successful Voting Rights Act lawsuits on behalf of African American and Latino voters across North Texas. As an example, the Storefront and its client, David Tyson, recently prevailed in a VRA lawsuit against the Richardson Independent School District. In 2001, the Brewer Foundation founded the Future Leaders Program, an academic and leadership development program that benefits minority children from urban communities within the Dallas Independent School District.     

“We are proud to join the antiracism alliance and promote its ideals at this critical time,” says William A. Brewer III, partner at Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors. “We view our commitment to the alliance as an extension of our work to achieve justice for communities of color – through pro bono service and a commitment to urban education.”
