2025 Equal Justice Conference

Join us for a timely and nuanced conversation on how legal advocates can forge meaningful, justice-centered partnerships with faith-based communities to expand access to reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights. Featuring legal practitioners from the South and West Coast, alongside an Episcopal priest and nationally recognized trans rights advocate, this session offers grounded insights into cross-cultural collaboration in complex legal and social landscapes. Panelists will examine how pro bono legal services can engage faith communities as strategic allies—co-hosting inclusive clinics, addressing trauma, and bridging cultural difference—while remaining firmly rooted in principles of equity and human dignity. Participants will leave with practical tools and frameworks for building resilient, values-aligned partnerships that expand legal access and affirm the rights of historically underserved populations.
