Our community has informed us of an incident that occurred earlier this week at Loyola Law School involving one of our scholarship recipients.
ChangeLawyers exists to build a more inclusive multiracial democracy that protects and respects the humanity of all people— including our Jewish, Black, Muslim, and Women-identified communities. Any words or actions that denigrate the humanity of others flies in the face of our values. We do not condone racism or hate speech in any form, spoken or posted online.
To all our community members: You Belong. ChangeLawyers will always be a place of compassion, empathy, and understanding.
