About this Event
All of Us or None Wisconsin/Illinois & Violence Interrupters proudly present the 4th Annual Justice Ball — The Official Justice Award Show!
This year, the Justice Ball comes to Chicago, Illinois for a powerful evening where justice, culture, community, and Hip Hop come together.
For four years, the Justice Ball has created space to recognize and celebrate the people who are doing the work — the advocates, organizers, leaders, community builders, violence interrupters, and changemakers who continue to stand on the front lines and make a difference in our communities.
This Year's Theme: Justice • Hip Hop • Sneakers
Get ready for an unforgettable All-White Ball celebrating 50+ years of Hip Hop & Justice — Boots on the Ground!
This is more than an awards ceremony. It's a full-blown experience honoring the connection between Hip Hop, justice, activism, culture, and the people who have used their voices and their work to create change.
Featuring Legendary Hip Hop Pioneer KURTIS BLOW
We are honored to feature legendary Hip Hop pioneer Kurtis Blow as part of this year's Justice Ball celebration.
The evening will also be led by our Supreme Hostess, Dr. Afrika Porter, as we recognize individuals whose commitment, leadership, and service continue to impact our communities.
Expect an evening filled with awards, recognition, Hip Hop, entertainment, community, culture, celebration, and a call to action.
The Justice Ball is our opportunity to tell those doing the work:
We see you.
We honor you.
We appreciate you.
And most importantly — DON'T STOP.
