Proud to be a Public Defender! Every day I get to be a voice for those who have gone unheard for too long. Fight the power, change the system, and help your community. Brooklyn Defenders #PublicDefenseDay #publicdefender #ilovemyjob #NoJusticeNoPeace
Proud of L.A. County Public Defenders Union for always fighting for our system-impacted communities! #fundpublicdefense #PublicDefenseDay ⚖️
I am a public defender because I believe that there, but for the grace of God, go I. #PublicDefenseDay
Happy National Public Defense Day. Today we reflect on the Supreme Court decision in 1963 which finally recognized the fundamental right to assistance of counsel for all people, regardless of income.

avanindar was the defender who told us, “Injustice happens in empty courtrooms.” That’s why thru #participatorydefense we fill these courts everyday. It’s #publicdefenseday - and we lift up community and defender partnerships to #protectourpeople ! The NAPD Gideon's Promise
What we know from experience, and the numbers bear out, the question to ask when a loved one is arrested is not,”Which private attorney do I hire?” it is, “How can I best support the public defender advocate for my loved one?” Salute to the defenders.

Before #PublicDefenseDay is done, I just want to say: I still want to be a public defender.
As #PublicDefenseDay winds to a close, I’m at a loss for words to describe how much my fellow defenders surprise, inspire and move me every day and especially during #COVID19 . #StillDefending The NAPD
Arrived just in time for #PublicDefenseDay , proud to be a member of Black Public Defender Association (BPDA)
Gideon v. Wainwright (March 18, 1963): This landmark SCOTUS Case extended the right to appointed counsel in criminal cases to the states.
Thank you for challenging the status quo, Mr. Gideon. I am able to do what I do because of your determination. #GideonDay #PublicDefenseDay
Happy #PublicDefenseDay to every Black defender! For many of us, this is not just a career but a calling. We often see ourselves, our family, and our friends in our clients. You deserve to be celebrated everyday, but especially today. #BlackDefendersMatter 🖤✊🏿

What worries me most as a public defender: “A system that just wants to lock people up…a machine that is designed to crush souls” #PublicDefenseDay #Gideon Day #Gideon
