2026 ADVOCACY SUMMIT, 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY GALA, & CONGRESSIONAL MEETINGS DAY

Join us at our 3rd annual Advocacy Summit, Awards Gala, and Congressional Meetings Day, a three-day convening designed to educate, honor, and mobilize our movement.

This year’s gathering is special: Community Justice is celebrating 10 years of mobilizing, advocacy, and policy-building. We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with you!

WHEN: Monday, April 20 - Wednesday, April 22, 2026
WHERE: Washington, D.C.

Advocacy Summit sessions include:

  • Skills-building breakout trainings led by experts focused on Public Speaking, Earning Press Hits, and Legislative Advocacy

  • Panels on Federal Harms and Overreach as well as State and Local Advocacy Successes

  • Training for meeting and engaging with Members of Congress 

At the Awards Gala, we will have dinner, cocktails, and entertainment as we recognize the trailblazers who have made outstanding contributions to preventing gun violence and uplifting their communities and mark 10 years since the founding of Community Justice.

Whether you’ve partnered with Community Justice for years or you’re joining us for the first time, this 10-year milestone is a moment for all of us. A moment to reflect. A moment to celebrate. A moment to deepen our collective knowledge. And a moment to continue the fight to support community organizations, uplift community leaders, and end gun violence nationwide.
