The legacy of the Nuremberg Trials, and the work of Bryan Stevenson, inspire us to believe we can change the world.
By pushing ourselves to get closer to those who are suffering, by changing our narratives so we don’t get comfortable with injustice, by sustaining hope, and by embracing our obligation to do uncomfortable and inconvenient things, we can make our world a more just and holy place.
Thank you to our Lead Sponsor, Howard Guggenheim.
