AILA SoCal Chapter & LACBA’s Immigration and Nationality Law Section 5K Run for Justice

A morning of wellness, community, and support for immigrant justice.

A morning to remember

Lacing up for access to justice.

The American Immigration Lawyers Association’s Southern California Chapter and the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s Immigration and Nationality Law Section held a 5K Run for Justice in Griffith Park on October 24, 2026.

A shared commitment to expanding access to justice for immigrants brought our community together that morning. This special event supported the American Immigration Council and Counsel for Justice, and gave people an opportunity to dedicate time to wellness, community, and connecting with colleagues.

We at CFJ are grateful to everyone who took part, especially leaders Maribel Reynoso and John Manley. Thank you for helping make legal support more accessible to those who need it!
