2020 Virtual Annual Dinner

So in the spirit of social responsibility and doing our part to help us get through the COVID-19 pandemic as quickly as possible, our in-person 2020 Annual Dinner is canceled. 

But we are excited to announce that we’ll have a digital program, and we still need your support!

JwJ’s 2020 Virtual Annual Dinner!

Our Virtual Annual Dinner will take place on
Thursday September 24, 2020 at 6pm.
Facebook Live Stream at https://www.facebook.com/jwjpdx/

Join us to celebrate all of the important work we do together building worker power, creating community, and establishing foundations for a more just and equitable world.

The program will be hosted on Zoom and will feature a keynote address from Bobbin Singh, founding Executive Director of Oregon Justice Resource Center.

Bobbin was born and raised in Atlanta, GA., and deeply inspired by the great figures of the civil rights movement in the South. Bobbin moved to Portland in 2003, and he started Oregon Justice Resource Center after graduating from law school in 2011. He believes that mass incarceration, including over incarceration, mass conviction, and wrongful convictions, is in fact the greatest civil rights crisis of our time and we must all take ownership of it…
