We'll toast to Social Justice Catalysts Black Love Resists in the Rust ([link removed]) (Phylicia Brown ([link removed]) , Executive Director) and Fair Fines and Fees Coordinator Jalonda Hill ([link removed]) for their advocacy to end racial profiling and excessive fines and fees. We're honoring Corporate Catalyst Cynthia Bookhart Adams ([link removed]) , Managing Director, Legal & Compliance at Jefferies, for her commitment to social justice and outspokenness after the murder of George Floyd.

The event will include a panel exploring the roots of wealth extraction in communities of color and the role of public interest attorneys, working alongside grassroots organizations. Speakers include Dennis Parker ([link removed]) (NCLEJ Executive Director), Deborah Archer ([link removed]) (NCLEJ Board Member, President of the ACLU, and co-director of the Center on Race, Inequality and the Law at NYU Law School), Maya Wiley ([link removed]) (NBC News & MSNBC Legal Analyst and former candidate for NYC Mayor), and honorees Jalonda Hill and Phylicia Brown. Sharon Epperson ([link removed]) , CNBC Senior Personal Finance Correspondent, will emcee the program.

And we’ll travel to Buffalo and meet the leaders helping us re-imagine public safety that allow communities to thrive, not merely survive. Buffalo Poet Laureate Jillian Hanesworth ([link removed]) and Buffalo musician Drea d’Nur ([link removed]) and dancer Naila Ansari will deliver powerful performances.

We’ll also highlight NCLEJ’s groundbreaking strategy in expanding access to public benefits, workers' rights, and disability justice. And, we'll hear from the leadership of the NCLEJ Board of Directors.

So get your ticket ([link removed]) today. And, get ready for a star-studded evening that will showcase that there is joy in justice-making.
