THE FUTURE

In addition to celebrating the life and work of Edgar S. Cahn, in keeping with Edgar and Jean Camper Cahn's lifelong commitment to justice, this Memorial will commence the organizing of the Jean and Edgar Cahn Center for Justice (provisional name!) which is intended by Cahn Family, Friends & Co-Conspirators (CFFCC) to carry forward their efforts into the indefinite future!  

In the near future, CFFCC will organize two virtual events: a Teach-in on Systems Change and a Roundtable on Access to Justice. We will send you information on those in the coming days.

Registrants for the Memorial and either of these two virtual events will be kept on this email list for such future work.
