We celebrated our courageous clients, dedicated staff, and strong allies, who joined together to advocate for low-wage workers while advancing our core principles of equity, justice, and the rule of law. We also were privileged to have as our special guests San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu and our 2022 Mathew O. Tobriner Public Service Awardee Keith Wattley, who joined us in offering inspiring words at a time when we very much needed them.
We wish to thank all of our guests who attended Lifting Voices, Lifting Justice, as well as those who were not able to be physically present but still supported our work.
