Join us for BWL's first general body meeting of 2026 calendar year!

We're gathering downtown for an evening of fellowship and community service (we'll be building toiletry kits for the Downtown Women's Center). Dinner will be provided, and ample parking is available at or near our venue (The Community Room in Mercado La Paloma | 3655 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90007). Please note: Parking in Lot A is fee-based (credit card or apple pay only), but the overflow lot (LOT B) is free after 5PM. Parking and public transit information is available online here.

Our meeting will cap off our month-long toiletry drive benefiting the Downtown Women's Center of Los Angeles. We'd love your support! Below are three easy ways to support:

Donate money at https://tinyurl.com/BWLToiletryDrive. All funds collected will be used to purchase toiletries for Downtown Women's Center. Please donate by January 10, 2026.

Purchase items from our Amazon wish list (managed by our President - Elect). We'll add items periodically based on need. The list closes on January 10, 2026.

While we prefer donations so we can prepare kits of uniform quality, please feel free to bring any new (unopened, unexpired, and not visibly worn) travel size toiletries that you may have (or can obtain from others); we'll try to include them in toiletry kits. Details on DWC's needs are available at https://downtownwomenscenter.org/help-from-home-kits/#ToiletryKit.

Registration is free for BWL members (please only register if you plan to attend), and $15 for non-members. Space is limited so registration will be closed when we reach a capacity of 60 registrants (or on January 13, 2026). Unfortunately, we cannot accept registrations or payment at the event (but feel free to drop off toiletry donations).

For more info contact President-Elect Alisha Burgin at Pres-Elect@BlackWomenLawyersLA.org.
