Justice Forum 2026

We are thrilled to announce that Pulitzer Prize-winner Brian Goldstone will headline this year’s Justice Forum. Goldstone is an American journalist and author whose work examines inequality, housing insecurity, and the lived realities of poverty in the United States. His acclaimed book, There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America, brings a deeply human lens to the economic systems shaping everyday life, with a focus on the growing number of working families who are nevertheless unhoused.
