In solidarity with the protests that have initiated a national conversation on institutional racism, the St. John’s Law School Student Chapter of the National Association of Consumer Advocates is hosting a two-part online discussion on discrimination in the context of economic justice.

• Makedah K. Salmond, Esq., Supervising Attorney at the Tenants’ Rights Unit of NYLAG
