San Francisco Stands for the Rule of Law
Start: Thursday, May 01, 2025•12:00 PM
End: Thursday, May 01, 2025•12:45 PM
Our Justice System is Under Threat
The principles of judicial independence and the independence of the legal profession – cornerstones of American democracy – are facing unprecedented challenges across the country. Attacks on judges for unpopular rulings, political pressure on legal professionals, and a growing distrust of the legal system threaten the very foundation of fairness and equal justice.
Join The Bar Association of San Francisco and legal organizations across the country May 1st to support the rule of law and have your voice heard! BASF is sponsoring a peaceful rally at the Phillip Burton Federal Building Plaza bringing together lawyers, legal professionals and members of the community to voice their shared commitment to the rule of law, the independence of the judiciary, and the right of lawyers to represent clients free of fear of retribution. Speakers to be announced. Join us and make your voice heard! Learn more at LawDayofAction.org and RSVP here.
