• 2012 Justice First! Luncheon

  Are you in the DC area? We hope you'll save the date for our annual Justice First Luncheon, featuring a keynote address from former Senator Russ Feingold.
  
  AFJ's Justice First Luncheon isn't your average fundraiser. Unlike black-tie dinners and glitzy events that demand a whole evening and an enormous donation, our luncheon is designed so that friends and colleagues from the progressive community can simply take a long lunch break, mix with leaders and staff from leading nonprofits and foundations, and still be back to the office by 1:30. It's a community event that leaves people fired up and ready to carry on the fight for a fair America.
  
  Senator Feingold and our champions of justice will join us at the Capital Hilton in Washington on June 6. We hope you can join us.
  
  Sponsorships for the luncheon are now available, and individuals can also purchase tickets online.
