Office of the

Public Defender

555 7th Street, San Francisco, CA

SF Public Defender, Manohar Raju, and the LSFN Steering Committee invite you to join other funders for a specially curated half-day program. We will learn about the ways in which the criminal justice system intersects with, and deeply impacts, issues our communities contend with everyday, such as immigration, housing & employment (clean slate and fines & fees), legal issues facing juveniles; and how these issues fuel the cycle of poverty if left unaddressed. ​
