According to Article 25 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, passed on December 10, 1948, "everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of herself and of her family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond her control."
SCSJ works to ensure that all people have the right to vote and elect candidates of choice to public office.
Heirs’ property is the term used for land owned by numerous family members who received it as an inheritance, after their ancestor has died without a will. Most common amongst African Americans living in the South, heirs’ property results in part from inadequate access to estate planning resources and tools including sound legal advice and well-drafted wills. 
SCSJ integrates media into our work by providing media trainings and capacity-building workshops for our clients, producing short films about issues we work on, and working with other groups in our community to encourage use of media in social activism and equity in media access.
Our work on immigrant rights has both a legal and an advocacy component. We represent individual clients in immigration cases, and we also work with coalitions to address immigration policy. 
All the work we do relates to preserving, extending and enforcing basic human rights. The human rights framework is a powerful way to link our struggles with people around the world, and to understand the fundamental nature of the interests we seek to protect.
Environmental justice work generally focuses on how public policies and practices allow low income communities to be disproportionately targeted for the dumping of toxic waste, the location of landfills and nuclear testing. However, the principles of Environmental Justice call attention to the need to address these and other external factors that sustain and build community.
