Civic Conversation: New York State Attorney General Letitia James

New York State Attorney General Letitia James headlined our latest Civic Conversation at King and Spaulding. She joined Board Chair John Avlon for a dynamic, hour-long, and was introduced by Betsy Gotbaum. She hit on major hot-button legal issues, from voting rights to law firms’ deals with the Trump administration.
James delved into her specific game plan if the Trump administration defies court orders, including the possibility of holding officials in contempt. And she more broadly discussed the Trump administration’s authoritarian actions, highlighting the stakes for our state and nation, saying, “This is a moral moment for all of us to defend democracy.”
