Justice Forum
October 23, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
Pisgah Legal’s 14th annual Justice Forum will be held at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in downtown Asheville on Thursday, October 23rd. There will be a ticketed, pre-event reception at 5:30pm followed by the free Justice Forum at 7:00pm. A live-streaming option will be available for those that prefer to join virtually and there will be several Regional Watch Parties in communities across WNC.
We host this event each year to call for justice and to generate honest conversation about pressing local and national issues. This year, we are honored to welcome Dr. Imani Perry as our Forum speaker. Dr. Perry brings a powerful voice to questions of race, justice, culture, and democracy in America. Her work challenges us to think deeply about our shared history and imagine a more equitable future. We look forward to an evening of thought-provoking insight and inspiration.
