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. <\/p>\n<p>We host this event each year to call for justice and to generate honest conversation about pressing local and national issues. This year\u2019s Forum focuses on the lives of immigrants, the national immigration picture, and Pisgah Legal\u2019s work supporting immigrant families. Pisgah Legal provides a broad array of free, civil legal aid, anti-poverty advocacy and access to health care in WNC. Our Justice For All Program team works with immigrants in WNC to help navigate complex immigration laws and apply for work authorization or permanent residency if eligible.<\/p>\n<p>We are thrilled that this year&#8217;s keynote speaker is Marielena Hincapi\u00e9, a nationally respected leader and legal strategist in the social justice movement. Currently the Distinguished Immigration Scholar at Cornell University, Marielena is the former executive director of the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) and the NILC Immigrant Justice Fund (IJF). She is a key figure in immigration policy, leading transformative initiatives such as DACA and the #ImmigrantsAreEssential campaign. An immigrant from Colombia, Marielena brings a bilingual and bicultural perspective to her work. She has been recognized with numerous awards and serves on the Board of Trustees for The David and Lucile Packard Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the pre-event reception at 5:30pm are $125 and can be purchased here: https:\/\/pisgahlegalservices.betterworld.org\/events\/justice-forum-reception-tickets<\/p>\n<p>Not in Asheville?
