Keynote Speaker: Alvin L. Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney
Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. is the 37th District Attorney elected in Manhattan. A son of Harlem who has served as both a state and federal prosecutor, Alvin has spent more than two decades fighting for safer communities and a fairer criminal justice system. Alvin restructured the Manhattan DA's Office to focus more resources on prosecuting serious violent crimes, meeting the needs of survivors, reducing recidivism by addressing underlying causes of criminal behavior, protecting everyday New Yorkers from abuses by the powerful, and vacating wrongful convictions. Alvin also directly oversees the Police Accountability Unit.
Prior to his election as DA, Alvin served as an Assistant Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General at the New York State Attorney General's Office and as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. In these roles, Alvin handled a wide array of criminal cases, including armed robbery, assault, gun possession, witness tampering, narcotics and gun trafficking, wage and hour violations, public corruption, money laundering, and antitrust violations. Alvin earned his A.B. from Harvard University, a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and clerked for Hon. Robert P. Patterson, Jr. in the Southern District of New York.
