The Gwen S. Cherry Black Women Lawyers Association, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Dade County Alumnae Chapter and the National Action Network - Miami-Dade Chapter is having a free community judicial candidate forum on Monday, August 4, 2014, at 6:00 pm at New Birth Baptist Cathedral of Faith International at 2300 NW 135th Street, Miami, FL 33167.



"While judges do not write laws in the same way legislators do, to the extent that they interpret and apply the law, a judge's role is equally important - especially to the people directly affected by their decisions.



We urge voters to come out to learn about the judges and candidates who seek this privilege and responsibility. Refreshments will be provided and candidates will be available to meet and greet members of the community. The forum is free and all are invited."

GSCBWLA is named after Gwendolyn Sawyer Cherry, an attorney who also was the State of Florida’s first black female state legislator. GSCBWLA is nonpartisan and is seeking to improve the voters’ knowledge about judges and how they are elected. We seek to follow in Gwen Cherry's footsteps and be champions of justice.For more information, please direct inquiries to:Cynthia Henry Duval, President, Cynthia.duval@gmail.com
