Hi friend,
We are excited to announce our Social Justice Maker Honorees we will be celebrating at the NCLEJ Justice Maker Awards: A Celebration of #JoyfulJustice! Join us on September 21 to celebrate New York University School of Law Professor Helen Hershkoff, National Mobilization Against Sweatshops (NMASS), Chinese Staff and Worker Association (CSWA), and Flushing Workers Center (FWC).
Helen Hershkoff is the Herbert M. and Svetlana Wachtell Professor of Constitutional Law and Civil Liberties; Co-Director, Arthur Garfield Hays Civil Liberties Program at New York University School of Law. We’re honoring Helen for her long-time commitment to seeding new leaders in public interest law, and for her commitment to advancing economic justice and supporting NCLEJ.
We’re honoring our incredible workers’ rights advocacy partners NMASS, CSWA, and FWC. These groups tirelessly lead the fight for frontline workers, like Home Health Aids, to achieve workers’ rights, economic justice, and dignity.
During the awards event, we will highlight NCLEJ’s groundbreaking strategy to ensure access to public benefits, workers' rights, and disability justice. You’ll hear from the leadership of the NCLEJ dynamic Board of Directors.
Additionally, Steven Banks, Special Counsel, Paul Weiss, and former head of New York City’s Human Resources Administration will join us as a special guest and presenter. And Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis, Senior Minister for Public Theology and Transformation, Middle Collegiate Church, will emcee the program.
We hope that you can join us for this inspiring evening showcasing the joy in justice-making.
The National Center for Law and Economic Justice advances racial and economic justice through ground-breaking impact litigation, policy advocacy, and support for grassroots organizing. We have provided legal representation and support since 1965.
