Justice moves like water—
a living current flowing from one generation to the next.
Like a river shaping stone, it finds its way.
through classrooms and courtrooms,
across marches and moments of quiet courage,
guiding the tides of a nation.
2026 Keynote Speaker and Panelist | Dr. Sujata Warrier
Dr. Sujata Warrier has spent her career transforming the systems meant to protect survivors, and empowering the people who work inside them. She has reshaped how judges and immigration officers engage with underserved communities, especially immigrant survivors of gender-based violence.
As a leading voice in judicial education on cultural responsiveness, she asks judges to do something difficult: confront their own biases so they can truly serve historically marginalized survivors.
To the rising leaders she mentors, Dr. Warrier is both a guide and a challenge. She raises the bar, pushes them toward bold action, and models what it looks like to stand unintimidated before institutional barriers. Fittingly, her name says it all: she is a warrior for justice.
What sets Dr. Warrier apart is her vision, and her rare gift for helping others connect the dots between advocacy, policy, and practice. That vision drives her work strengthening emergency management systems so they can meet the needs of domestic violence and sexual assault survivors during disasters and mass casualty events. As climate change and other crises make disasters more frequent, this work has never been more urgent.
Her impact reaches far beyond U.S. borders. From Bangladesh to Egypt to Russia and many countries in between, she has trained lawyers and advocates and helped shape policy around the world. Wherever she goes, she has a talent for distilling complex issues into ideas that resonate with everyone, from local advocates to international policymakers.
With humor, sharp wit, and a no-nonsense style, Dr. Sujata Warrier challenges systems to be better and inspires others to follow. Her tireless pursuit of justice and equity is a living legacy for everyone working to end gender-based violence.
Meet our Second Panelist | John Choi
John Choi was sworn in as the first Korean American chief prosecutor in the country in 2011. Since taking office, he has become a state and national leader in progressive reform, working with public officials and impacted communities to reimagine justice and the role of prosecutors. His collaborative approach has transformed how government responds to domestic violence, sex trafficking, and sexual assault in Minnesota, and has improved support for victim/survivors.
John has also championed engaging men and boys to prevent violence against women and girls, advanced legislation to reunite families when it’s in foster children’s best interest, advocated for reforming state drug laws and reinvesting the savings in community-based solutions, and established a Veterans Court. He has expanded prosecutors’ role in assuring justice by mitigating collateral consequences, facilitating record sealing, reviewing past convictions, and responding to youth through restorative approaches. Most recently, he worked with county law enforcement leaders to reduce non-public-safety traffic stops, cutting racial disparities in those stops and related searches by more than half and creating a program that offers vehicle owners financial help with repairs and registration.
John serves on the boards of the Institute for Innovation in Prosecution, the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, the National Policing Institute, Veterans Defense Project, and A Call to Men, among others. His honors include the 2015 Minnesota County Attorneys Association Award of Excellence, the 2018 Julius E. Gernes Prosecutor Award of Excellence, the 2019 Profiles in Courage Award, and the 2023 EVAWI Professional Impact Award. He previously served as Saint Paul City Attorney and spent a decade in private practice.
