PLSE provides free representation, community education, legislative advocacy and social services for low-income individuals with criminal records. It was founded in 2010 by three Philadelphia-based civil rights lawyers.

"Criminal records present a significant obstacle to employment for thousands of Philadelphians. Because of structural and cultural inequities, a criminal history disadvantages people of color and the poor. We hope to reduce the effect of these records," the organization's website states.

Below are the CookNSolo restaurants from which you can preorder food to raise funds for PLSE this week.
