On April 29, 2017, San Diego City Councilmember Georgette Gómez (District 9) will address the community at 9:30am as keynote speaker at the 2nd Annual City Heights Law Day event. The American Bar Association promotes a variety of Law Day activities. This year’s Law Day theme is “The Fourteenth Amendment: Transforming American Democracy.” The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified nearly 150 years ago, guarantees the rights of due process and equality under the law. Through this amendment, most of the protections in the Bill of Rights became enforceable against the states for the first time. It also defined citizenship and barred states from denying any citizen the privileges and immunities of citizenship.
