The Constance Baker Motley Award Luncheon

OCTOBER 29TH | 12PM

Hartford Club

46 Prospect St, Hartford, CT

She Leads Justice, the oldest women’s rights organization in Connecticut, will host our annual fundraising Fall Luncheon.

This is an exciting opportunity to support a cause that has a legacy of advancing the rights and needs of women across the state. It’s an opportunity to make a difference in a mission that touches the lives of 1000+ women each year through our Legal Education program and other activities. Your presence in this event will be joined by partners, advocates, and friends of SLJ. This year’s program celebrates our special guest, the Honorable Dawne G. Westbrook. Don’t miss the chance to purchase your ticket or sponsor the event.

The mission and work of SLJ would not be possible without the dedicated financial support of the community and friends.
