Of particular note to the two of us signing this letter, who were both here in 1970, our Because NCLEJ’s Board and staff believe that this nation should strive to ensure that no one lives success continues to build upon NCLEJ’s landmark Supreme Court victory that year in Goldberg v. Kelly. in poverty, we subscribe to the following values: In a profoundly moving decision by Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., the Court ruled that public agencies could not Income Security: Income security is a basic goal and fundamental defense terminate vital public benefits until they had provided a fair hearing consistent with the due process requirements of against poverty. the United States Constitution. The Goldberg decision remains good law, which we rely upon today, even though the sensibility of many courts has changed profoundly. Consider the following lines from Justice Brennan’s opinion: Access to Employment: Low-income people should have full opportunity to participate in all forms of education, training, and Thus the crucial factor in this context… is that termination of aid pending resolution of a controversy over eligibility may deprive an eligible recipient of the very means by services to help them secure and retain living wage jobs. which to live while he waits. Since he lacks independent resources, his situation becomes immediately desperate… Fair Treatment: Fairness must be the foundation of government administration. From its founding, the Nation’s basic commitment has been to foster the dignity and well-being of all persons within its borders. We have come to recognize that forces not Public Accountability: Governmental decision-making and administration within the control of the poor contribute to their poverty.… Welfare, by meeting the basic should be open, accessible, and responsive to demands of subsistence, can help bring within the reach of the poor the same opportunities constituents. that are available to others to participate meaningfully in the life of the community.

Access to Justice: Low-income people must have effective access to We were both actively involved in the Center’s work on Goldberg, Henry as a Reginald the justice system to challenge violations of their Heber Smith Fellow who helped draft the original papers, and Paul as the Columbia rights, secure effective relief, and gain greater public Law School faculty director during the time the case was developed and moved to the Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. Supreme Court. And we remain committed today to securing through NCLEJ’s ongoing accountability. work the effective realization of the principles articulated in Goldberg by Justice Brennan.

Fair and Safe Workplace: All workers should be assured a safe The 40th anniversary of Goldberg finds NCLEJ’s clients enduring the hardest times in recent history. Millions of Ameri- workplace, a living wage, and full cans have recently been forced to rely on the SNAP (formerly known as food stamp) program to meet basic nutritional protection from discrimination. needs. Millions more have had to rely on the Medicaid program, in many cases for their very survival. If there were ever any doubt that, in Justice Brennan’s words, “forces not within the control of the poor contribute to their poverty,” Community Action: Community action and there can be none now. coalition building should be encouraged at the local, Yet, despite the undeserved plight of so many Americans, our governmental institutions have been slow to state, and national level as respond to their needs and in many cases even attempted to constrict their support of the poor, as the accompanying powerful strategies for social report plainly shows. And so we resolve to redouble our efforts to assure fair and dignified treatment for all in need. change. We pledge to our board of directors, staff, colleagues, friends, and supporters that NCLEJ will remain loyal to its economic justice mission in these challenging times, and look forward to working with you in that effort.
