⚖️ All women are entitled to safety. What happens when that safety is threatened by our own system of civil justice? ♀️An amazing nonprofit standing with these women is Her Justice. Last month, I was honored to host the Her Justice 2024 Annual Photography Auction and Benefit alongside hundreds of legal industry leaders who came together to raise a record $3.35 million for this important organization. Her Justice stands with women and children living in poverty in New York City – many who are mothers, immigrants, and survivors of intimate partner violence – helping them to find free legal counsel. I tell some of their stories in the video below - an excerpt from my opening remarks. In many ways, our civil justice system reinforces and exacerbates gender, racial, and economic imbalances. The work that Her Justice does with policy and advocacy reforms the system to be more equitable, efficient, and empowering to all women. Thank you for having me as your emcee, and congratulations to Jennifer O'Neil and Ira Dizengoff, recognized this evening, and to Amy Barasch, Esq. for her decade of leadership at Her Justice! #Equality #WomensRights #Nonprofit #NewYorkCity #Justice
