Convention Welcome! [In-person]

Welcome to Birmingham, Alabama for the 2024 #Law4thePeople Convention! This opening session will ground you in the rich history of this year's host site. Learn from local movement leaders to recognize and honor the city that is hosting us for the NLG's largest annual event. Whether you are local or from out of town, start the convention off right by gathering for this inspiring welcome!

Join the members of the Host Committee, Executive Council, and the National Office alongside special guests to commemorate the first day of the convention. This session will orient attendees on what to expect for the rest of the week and ground our shared presence as we gather in-person for a convention for the first time since 2019. Come learn about the historic role Birmingham, Alabama has played in people’s movements and in the Guild’s own history as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the United People of Color Caucus.
