A Fundamental Right to Heal
20th Anniversary Gala
Time: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Location: Berkeley City Club, Berkeley, CA
Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating 20 years of UnCommon Law. Our anniversary gala, “A Fundamental Right to Heal,” will bring together leaders, partners, and community members for a night of powerful storytelling, immersive experiences, and a bold vision for the future.
Guests will enjoy a seated dinner and program featuring California justice leaders, while getting an inside look at our strategy to advance a healing-centered approach to justice. Together, we’ll reflect on how far we’ve come—and what it will take to build a system rooted not in punishment, but in healing.
