2019 Virtual Gala

Don’t save the date. Save human rights.

Welcome to The Next Twenty Years: A CJA Virtual Gala. Reserve your formal wear for another occasion. This unique celebration of human rights takes place right from the comfort of your own home—or anywhere you choose! #JusticeMatters

March 28, 2019

We know #JusticeMatters. Every dollar donated to CJA counts and puts us another step closer to a world where justice thrives.

With technology right at our fingertips, we want to connect with our global network of human rights supporters. By eliminating thousands of dollars of event costs needed to host a physical event, more of your donation goes directly to holding human rights abusers accountable.
