The SMCBA’s Race and Social Justice Task Force invites you to join Marc Philpart, Managing Director at PolicyLink, and coordinator of the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color, for a discussion to radically reimagine community safety by defunding the police and investing in the education, jobs, housing, and social services that low income people and communities of color need to thrive.

Please note, this event does not qualify for MCLE credit.

All attorney members are invited to attend for free. We look forward to your virtual attendance!

This event is brought to you by the SMCBA Race & Social Justice Task Force in partnership with PolicyLink , Alliance for Boys and Men of Color & the California Lawyers Association’s Racial Justice Committee.
