How This Works

Tell Us What's Going On

When you reach out, you do not have to have everything figured out. Many people simply need someone to listen, and often that is the most important thing we do. You tell us what the problem is, give us the details you can, and our team takes it from there.

Not everyone needs a lawyer. Sometimes the answer is a phone call to the right agency, a referral to a partner organization, help understanding your rights, or simply knowing someone is in your corner. We will help you figure out what kind of help fits your situation.

Our team reviews every request that comes in. While Rev. Sharpton cannot personally take every call, the National Action Network staff and our network of advocates, attorneys, and partners are here to make sure you are heard and pointed toward real help.
