Equal Justice Society's Resilience of Racism Conference - June 1-3, 2017 at Oakland Chinatown Cultural Center



San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon addresses the audience during as a panelist on Mass Incarceration: A Gateway to Bias?


(L-R) Panelist Osagie Obasogie (UC Berkeley), Eva Patterson (EJS Founder & Director), and Erwin Chemerinsky (Dean of Berkeley Law) on the "Dismantling the Intent Doctrine" panel

I attended all three days of this great conference organized with the Equal Justice Society, a legal non-profit founded and headed by the phenomenal civil rights attorney Eva Patterson.

All three days were well-attended by a good cross-section of lawyers, community organizers, policy staff, local officials, students, and impacted community members. There was very strong engagement and participation from the audience will all speakers.
