| Come support National Lawyers Guild Chicago! Join community activists, organizers, legal workers, law students, and lawyers at our annual celebration as we honor #NoCopAcademy with our Next Gen Award and Melinda Power with the Kinoy Award. Enjoy delicious vegan appetizers catered by Hel’s Kitchen, and entertainment provided by the amazing Free Write Sound & Vision! All of it to benefit National Lawyers Guild Chicago’s work supporting liberation movements.
This year’s event will take place on Friday, November 16th, 6:00pm – 9:00pm at Second Unitarian Church, 656 W. Barry. The Next Generation Award was established to honor the essential contribution of the next generation of Chicago activists, peoples lawyers, legal workers, and law students who have engaged in inspiring and relevant organizing or legal work promoting equality and social justice, to the end that human rights shall be regarded as more sacred than property interests. The Arthur Kinoy Peoples Law Award is in honor of Arthur Kinoy, a celebrated and beloved member of the National Lawyers Guild who dedicated himself to using law in service of the People and encouraged generations of others to do the same. Arthur Kinoy was a fierce civil rights lawyer and an active Guild member for most of his adult life. |
