The UJC has been fueling social change since 1984 by providing free, essential legal support to 20-25k NYers each year who can’t afford the help (from survivors of domestic violence, to homeless families, LGBTQIA+ youth, to many more), while continually mentoring the next generation of leaders in the fight for social justice. We provide crucial direct legal services, systemic advocacy, community education, & political organizing to empower marginalized communities & champion new avenues for social justice. This event raises funds to provide those critical services to New Yorkers in need – services such as emergency food and shelter for street youth, legal services for sex workers and immigrants, clinics and educational support – all which truly transform lives.
