Holding Court: A Justice Conversation with
Detention Reform Advocates
Defending the rights of detainees during COVID-19
Join online Wednesday, May 6, 6:15 PM ET

As COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to rise, the pandemic is exposing and exacerbating stark systemic inequities, and people in confinement are especially at risk. Already facing limited access to medical care and mistreatment throughout the criminal justice and immigration systems, they have limited ability practice social distancing, proper hygiene, and are at disproportionately higher risk for underlying health conditions. Join us for an inside look from leading attorneys and advocates defending the rights and health of detainees, including Katherine Rosenfeld, Partner at Emery Celli, and Professor Betsy Ginsberg, Director of the Cardozo Civil Rights Clinic, who are leading the litigation seeking release of 540 people detained in Brooklyn’s federal jail, and Baher Azmy, Legal Director at the Center for Constitutional Rights, who is litigating on behalf of 13 medically vulnerable individuals in ICE detention in Louisiana. A Q&A will follow the discussion.

It's thanks to our dedicated supporters that we can continue to elevate the fight for justice during this challenging time. Please consider donating today.
