The Satyagraha Alliance is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization that supports philanthropic programs for local underserved communities.
Our mission: to alleviate many of the troubling issues that stem from social injustice, homelessness, and food insecurity through collaboration, charitable giving, and volunteer work.
Given their work with some of the most vulnerable populations in the community, members of Matern Law Group had long expressed a strong desire to offer their support in ways that would reach beyond the courtroom.

As its inaugural event, The Satyagraha Alliance hosted a fundraiser and community discussion forum to raise awareness of issues surrounding the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles. The event featured Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Rick Wartzman, along with the Executive Director of the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission, Wade Trimmer.
