The Davis Vanguard is turning 20!

Join us as we celebrate two decades of independent journalism, government accountability, criminal justice reform reporting and civic engagement.

This year, we are proud to honor five outstanding public defenders from San Francisco, Sacramento and Yolo County whose work has made a lasting impact on our communities and on the Vanguard's coverage over the past 20 years.

We're also excited to welcome Matt Gonzalez and Whitney Leigh as keynote speakers for this special Sunday afternoon event.

For 20 years, the Vanguard has worked to expose injustice, elevate underrepresented voices and train the next generation of journalists, lawyers and advocates. Now we're looking ahead to the next 20 years.

We hope you'll join us for this milestone celebration.
