Join Chicago Appleseed’s Spring Luncheon on June 16!

We invite you to join our spring luncheon at the Ivy Room as we uplift leaders in our community and celebrate our collective efforts for justice. Chicago Appleseed is excited to gather with you and raise funds to support our work for court transparency, economic accessibility, decarceration, and community autonomy.

At the event, we are proud to honor Robert Held, a lawyer and community activist whose viral videos and national media interviews have focused on protecting the free speech rights of protesters speaking out against the policies and tactics of those carrying out national immigration policies. Robert’s videos have garnered millions of views as he has gained a national following.

We will also share about Chicago Appleseed’s efforts to build the next generation of justice-oriented lawyers through our Future Justice Lawyers of Chicago (FJLOC) program. Hannah Callentine, Appleseed FJLOC Fellow and President of the Northwestern University Black Pre-Law Students Association, will be discussing the FJLOC and its powerful skill-building, mentoring, and community development. We are thrilled to have 75 pre-law undergraduate and high school students involved in FJLOC, along with a robust Alumni Association.

See you there,
