Next week, our national manager will join a panel of powerhouse criminal justice reform advocates at the legendary Cooper Union Hall in New York City! The event will be a part of Cooper Union’s “Right Makes Might” series, following in the footsteps of many great historical events that took place in this same space. Abraham Lincoln gave his speech of this same name in the Hall, the NAACP was founded here, and previous speakers include W.E.B. Du Bois and Frederick Douglass. The event will also feature a sneak peak at the Sundance Award winning film, “Clemency,” and will include some of the stars from the film. Tickets are free but will go quickly. Reserve your spot here!
