COVID-19 has exposed the extraordinary shortcomings of our society’s social and health systems. If the pandemic has made anything clear, it’s this: The need for health justice is now. Join us at Building Lives, Rebuilding Systems to learn how we as a community can rebuild our systems so that they work well for everyone, even in a pandemic. Register online at legalcouncil.org/gala2021.

Join Gala Chair Philip Tortorich for an evening to celebrate victories made in the fight for health justice, and to reflect on the road ahead as COVID-19 continues to hit our communities. We’ll celebrate stories of resilience from our clients, and community members who help to make our work happen. The program will also feature spoken word performances from local Multidisciplinary Artist, Ugochi Nwaogwugwu.
