Justice Now! Gideon Day 2009

On March 18th, 2009, hundreds of people from across the State converged on Albany to demand a solution to the crisis in public defense. THANK YOU to everyone who made Gideon Day 2009 such a success.

The video below shows key legislators speaking out for creating the Independent Public Defense Commission. Click here for photos from the event. Click here to see an excellent documentary produced by Gary J. Glinksi Productions that combines interviews with participants and footage of speakers.


Below is a slideshow of photos from the day, or you can view all the photos at once.
