Lawyering for Liberation: Lessons from the Field

April 13 @ 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM EDT

Join co-authors and co-editors Ameca Reali and Marbré Stahly-Butts for a compelling conversation about their recently published book, “Lawyering for Liberation: A Toolbox for Movement Lawyers.” They will be joined by contributors from the book to explore how lawyers and legal workers can effectively support and sustain powerful movements, emphasizing the critical importance of power building and radical imagining in today’s context. As we face unique threats posed by growing authoritarianism, the need for radical and movement-based lawyering has never been more urgent. Panelists include Vince Warren, Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights; Joo-Hyun Kang, longtime police reform organizer and former head of Communities United for Police Reform; Rachel Herzing, esteemed organizer and abolitionist; and Meena Jagannath, international movement lawyer. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with leaders in the movement!
