On June 12, 2025, GOSO gathered supporters and advocates at the offices of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP for an evening of connection and shared commitment to our mission. The evening culminated in a powerful panel discussion featuring Debevoise Litigation Partner Judge John Gleeson, GOSO Vice President of Programs Yenia Vasquez, Chief Advocacy Officer Omar Jackson, and was moderated by President and CEO Michelle Pryce-Screen.
The conversation served as a compelling reminder of what’s possible when a community unites to challenge stigma and expand opportunities for justice-involved youth. Together, we can open doors for New York City’s most vulnerable young people, and continue disrupting cycles of violence, incarceration, and disconnection through advocacy, education, and emotional support.
A heartfelt thank-you to GOSO Board Members Sarah Wolf, Judge John Gleeson, and Kwame Fynn, as well as Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, for so generously hosting this inspiring evening.
