Dear friends of CLS,Ā 

Imagine JusticeĀ has served as our ā€œannual eventā€ each fall, providing a chance to connect with supporters and partners, reflect on the work of the past year, and raise funds for the work ahead. As we approach the fall of 2022, we are reimagining how the event can best serve our statewide community.

With the acknowledgment that we each come to this work from unique places ā€“ in perspective, experience, identity, comfort with gathering in person, mobility and geography ā€“ and thatĀ COVID still impacts our lives in different ways, we are excited to announce the first-everĀ Imagine Justice Week, September 19-23, 2022. Rather than try a “one size fits allā€ event, the week will offer numerous ways to connect with CLS and our greater communities, such as:Ā 

  • Panel discussions with community partners workingĀ to end mass incarceration and protect immigrant equityĀ 
  • In-person receptions around the stateĀ 
  • Virtual Visionary Award CelebrationĀ 
  • At-home celebration kits featuring local restaurants and small businessesĀ 
  • Youth drawing contestĀ 
  • Trivia, games, and prizes via social mediaĀ 
  • Readings and author discussionsĀ 
  • and more!Ā 

We are inspired by the opportunity to engage with people across the state as we recommit to a Washington where we areĀ allĀ free.Ā 

We hope you will join us!Ā

Development & Communications Director
