The United Justice Coalition (UJC) and Roc Nation have announced the return of the United Justice Coalition Summit, set to take place on May 30 at The Shed in New York City. The highly anticipated event, now in its third year, will once again bring together influential voices in activism, media, and law to discuss pressing issues surrounding social justice and reform.
This year’s summit will feature thought-provoking panel discussions with an esteemed lineup of speakers, including The Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne tha God, MSNBC’s Ari Melber, and Innocence Project Co-Founder Barry Scheck, with more names to be announced in the coming weeks.
Beyond the panels, the event will provide valuable networking opportunities and will remain open to the public at no cost. Attendees will also have access to an exhibition area where nonprofit organizations can showcase their missions and resources.
Building on the success of past summits, which featured high-profile figures like San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, civil rights attorney Ben Crump, and Grammy-nominated artist Fat Joe, the 2025 UJC Summit aims to continue fostering meaningful discussions on criminal justice reform, systemic inequalities, and pathways for change.
Previous participating organizations include the Innocence Project, REFORM Alliance, the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, and the Legal Aid Society. With an expanding network of advocates and leaders, the UJC Summit remains a critical platform for progress in the fight for justice.
