Justice Jam is Coming!!

- Date: Thursday, October 23, 2025
- Time: 6PM – 9PM
- Program Booklet
Community Lawyers, Inc. is celebrating 20 years of service this year! While distance made our grassroots work challenging over the last few years, we overcame it by implementing new strategies to create access to affordable legal services for low and moderate income individuals who might otherwise not qualify for legal aid. Proceeds from our fundraiser will support the organization’s weekly legal clinics, internship program, and allow CLI to expand its programming to support community led organizing, engagement and participation in the legal system.
Our event theme will focus on the celebration of “Resilience.” We will celebrate the resilience of those who bring resources of social, cultural, and equitable well-being during times of social injustice. Proceeds from the “Resilience” fundraiser will support the organization’s weekly legal clinics, summer internship program, as well allow CLI to expand its programming to provide direct service for our initiatives in Family Law, Immigration, Tenants’ Rights, and Special Education. While our clinics are free to our clients who come in for individual consultations with our volunteer attorneys, CLI general fund is used to pay staff salaries, our overhead fees, tech and office supplies.
11th Annual Justice Jam (2019)
Proceeds from “Celebrating Our Tradition of Advocacy” fundraiser will support the organization’s weekly legal clinics, summer internship program, as well allow CLI to expand its programming. Enclosed you will find a commitment form. Please return it to us after deciding on your preferred level of sponsorship.
