Training for a marathon is a privilege — having the time, the health, the safety, and the stability to step out the door each morning and run. Not everyone has that same access or security. And in far too many places, the quality of justice a person receives still depends on what they can afford.
For the past 40 years, the Urban Justice Center has worked to change that — providing free legal support and relentless advocacy for survivors of domestic violence, street vendors, LGBTQ+ youth, people living with mental illness, trafficking survivors, and families struggling to stay in their homes. They fight for people who are too often overlooked, winning cases, shaping policy, and mentoring the next generation of social justice leaders.
I’m proud and honored to support an organization fighting so relentlessly for the rights and dignity of those that so deserve it — and I hope, in some small way, to live up to the example they set every day in that fight.
