Congressman John Lewis never wavered in his commitment to equality and justice – the ideals enshrined in the heart of our Constitution. He stood up for those who did not have a voice, the poor, disadvantaged and individuals who society treated unjustly.
NLADA and the equal justice community join those around the world in mourning the loss of this human rights champion. We send our deepest sympathies to the Congressman’s family, friends and staff.

NLADA joins with our community of public defenders, civil legal aid providers and client advocates in mourning the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police and calling for justice. Mr. Floyd’s death is another heartbreak, another unnecessary loss of life from the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers. The nation has seen the video and watched in horror as Mr. Floyd pled for his life to no avail. That day, Mr. Floyd found no safety at the hands of officers sworn to serve and protect and the nation learned the name of another Black man whose life was lost at the hands of police brutality.
