NLG Chicagos Annual Celebration 2024

On September 28th we'll come together at Haymarket House for NLG Chicago's annual celebration. Join us as we lift up the work of Chicago's legal community to support our city's movements for social justice and honor this year's recipients of the Arthur Kinoy and Trailblazer awards!Come raise a glass and break bread with Chicago's movement lawyers!

Since the bombing of Gaza began in October, our chapter has dispatched legal observers to more than 150 protests and provided free criminal defense to more than 420 people arrested at demonstrations. Simultaneously, we have worked to prepare legal support networks for protests of the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Celebrate these efforts and help ensure our chapter has the resources we need to continue to support Chicago’s social justice movements in 2025!

Accessibility: In order to advocate for disability justice and accessibility for all, we are planning to host this event outdoors to help stop the spread of COVID. If weather does not cooperate, we will move the event indoors, require masks, keep windows open, and run several air purifiers.
