Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles has proclaimed February 20, 2025, as “Access to Justice Day” in Charlotte. This proclamation coincides with World Day of Social Justice, a global observance dedicated to advancing fairness and equity in society.

Proclamations issued by the Office of the Mayor provide an opportunity to recognize and honor occasions of significance to Charlotteans and increase public awareness of issues that contribute to the well-being of the people of this city. This proclamation shines a light on the vital role of civil legal aid in building a more just community and highlights the impactful work we do every day at Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy.

As we recognize Access to Justice Day, the Access to Justice Breakfast (taking place on February 20) serves as both a meaningful recognition of the importance of our services and a call to keep fighting for justice for all.
