Rooted in Resistance, Rising with Purpose

The Black Public Defender Association (BPDA) presents its 2025 Annual Conference—an intentional space for Black defenders and ally defenders committed to racial equity. This isn’t just another conference; it’s a call to gather, learn, and build power. Through dynamic workshops, honest conversations, and collective care, we’ll sharpen our advocacy, elevate our leadership, and recharge for the fight ahead. Join us as we challenge systemic injustice and strengthen a more racially conscious public defense movement—together.
