On Thursday, February 27, 2025, the Bay Area legal community gathered for the 38th Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards at the Hyatt Regency, Embarcadero, in support of our collective vision towards transformative systems of justice, equity and liberation.

The annual event and fundraiser spotlights the organization’s work over the previous year to dismantle systems of oppression and racism, and to build an equitable and just society, and celebrates significant contributions of pro bono volunteers, clients, community leaders, artists and activists. 

The proceeds from this event remain critical to LCCRSF’s ability to conduct our wide range of programs.
