Mission
The Abolitionist Learning Zone (ALZ) was founded by a group of students at the end of the 2022 Fall semester. Inspired by the Critical Perspectives program, ALZ is committed to continuing their education through a critical lens, building community, and fostering leftist politics within the law school. ALZ values a community education platform that decenters the rigid pedagogy of law school. ALZ also values critiquing the legacies of oppression and how the law supports it. ALZ chose an abolitionist lens because they believe in the destruction of harmful systems and building ones that center care in their place.

The Northeastern Law chapter of the American Constitution Society brings together students who believe constitutional law can be a force for social justice. We aim to create a supportive community where future lawyers can explore how constitutional principles connect to issues like civil rights, economic equality, and criminal justice reform. Through speaker events, workshops, and mentorship opportunities, we work to prepare members for careers in public interest law, impact litigation, and advocacy. Our goal is to help students develop the knowledge and connections they need to use their legal education in service of building a more just and equitable society.

We will do this by supporting and promoting housing justice work within and outside the classroom at NUSL, and by following the leadership of directly-affected communities and organizations in working for housing justice. HJC is open to current and prospective law students at Northeastern, alums, faculty, staff, and wider members of the Northeastern School of Law community.

Northeastern Law Students for Justice in Palestine advocates for the total liberation of the Palestinian people. We work to support Palestinian self-determination in its totality, including advocating for an end to all settlements, the blockade and siege on Gaza, the apartheid system, the imprisonment, and the incessant genocide of its people. In doing so, we stand firmly with the Palestinian people's right to resist their oppressor by any means necessary. We aim to center and amplify Palestinian voices in an attempt to clarify the blatant misinformation and propaganda perpetuated by mainstream media. Through direct action, outreach, education, and coalition building with other social justice groups, we hope to be a small part of a larger movement to Free Palestine.
