Discovering Justice’s 2025 Gala gathered more than 250 supporters in the Moakley Courthouse to celebrate Joshua Levy, former United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts (and former DJ board member!)

Our Board Chair, Tony Jordan opened the event and introduced new Executive Director, Rana Kannan! We then heard from Gala Committee Chair Sarah Walters. Following a delicious dinner and exciting live auction, Josh Levy was joined onstage by three Discovering Justice students and national-award-winning journalist Phillip W.d. Martin of WGBH. Martin facilitated a riveting conversation.

We raised nearly $500,000 to support quality civic education for students and communities across the Commonwealth, an incredible success only made possible by the remarkable generosity of our sponsors.

We’d like to give special thanks to presenting sponsor Ropes & Gray, as well as forty-two other firms, foundations, and individuals whose generosity will fuel Discovering Justice’s mission for another year.
