SUMMARY:Special Event: The Civil Rights Project
DESCRIPTION:The Civil Rights ProjectA Vision for Justice in the Lone Star S
 tate\nby Jim Harrington\nPresented by: Jim Harrington\nSPECIAL ENCORE EVEN
 T\nThe Texas Civil Rights Project by Jim Harrington offers a compelling an
 d deeply personal account of one lawyer’s decades-long fight for justice
  in one of the most politically and socially complex states in the country
 . As the founder of the Texas Civil Rights Project (TCRP)\, Harrington ref
 lects on his journey as a civil rights attorney\, highlighting the legal b
 attles\, social movements\, and ethical challenges that shaped both his ca
 reer and the organization he helped build.\nThe book traces the origins an
 d evolution of TCRP\, a nonprofit legal advocacy organization that Harring
 ton founded in 1990 to provide legal representation for marginalized indiv
 iduals and communities across Texas. Rooted in principles of human dignity
 \, social justice\, and grassroots empowerment\, the Project took on cases
  involving police brutality\, immigrant rights\, disability access\, votin
 g rights\, free speech\, and institutional discrimination. Throughout the 
 book\, Harrington provides behind-the-scenes insight into many of these ca
 ses\, showing how legal advocacy can be a powerful tool for systemic chang
 e.\nMore than just a history of lawsuits and policy fights\, Harrington’
 s book is also a memoir of personal conviction and moral courage. He recou
 nts his early work with the United Farm Workers and his collaboration with
  labor and church leaders\, grounding his civil rights philosophy in a the
 ology of liberation and a belief in the common good. His writing is passio
 nate and principled\, urging readers to understand that justice work is as
  much about building community as it is about winning in court.\nAt the he
 art of the book is a call to action: that the fight for civil rights is no
 t over\, and that every generation must carry forward the torch of justice
 . Harrington challenges readers to get involved—whether through advocacy
 \, community organizing\, voting\, or simply by standing in solidarity wit
 h those whose voices are often silenced.\nThe Texas Civil Rights Project i
 s a timely and inspiring read for lawyers\, activists\, students\, and any
 one interested in the intersection of law and social change. It offers bot
 h a sobering look at the realities of injustice and an uplifting reminder 
 that committed individuals can make a lasting difference—even in the fac
 e of great resistance.\n\nWHEN:\n\nThursday\, March 12\, 2026\nRefreshment
