Pass It On: Style & Support – Clothing Swap
A gathering sharing gently used professional clothing and building community over conversation and connection.
Donate pieces that once carried you into interviews, hearings, or new roles, and browse for items that fit where you are headed next.
At 12:30 p.m., we will hear from U.S. Magistrate Judge Valerie E. Torres with the Southern District of California. She will share remarks about her journey as a lawyer and judge.
This event is open to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, gender, or other protected characteristic.
