Gideon's Promise

Gideon's Promise is an organization that supports public defenders—lawyers who represent people accused of crimes and cannot afford private attorneys. It aims to improve the quality of legal defense for low-income individuals by providing training, resources, and fostering a community among public defenders. The goal is to ensure that everyone receives a fair trial and that the criminal justice system treats all people with dignity and justice, regardless of their financial situation. Essentially, Gideon’s Promise advocates for justice by strengthening the public defense system to better serve vulnerable populations.
