Storytelling and the Law: A Conversation with Eddie Ahn

Join AALAM and SABA for an author talk with the inimitable Eddie Ahn!  

Eddie Ahn is the Author and Artist of "Advocate," the national bestseller graphic memoir published by Penguin Random House. Recognized as a Washington Post and American Library Association Best Graphic Novel of the Year, "Advocate" is a moving story about Eddie's work as an environmental justice lawyer serving diverse communities while grappling with family expectations and burnout.

As a nonprofit lawyer and executive director, Eddie leads Brightline Defense, an environmental justice nonprofit based in San Francisco, and he also serves as a commissioner for three local and state government agencies related to environmental policymaking. As of 2026, Eddie has completed over 101 events across San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Sacramento, and New York – and he returns to Boston for a lively night of conversation about the year ahead.

This event is free, but registration is required at least 24 hours in advance due to building security procedures. Appetizers and other light bites will be served, and if you're lucky, you might even get to take home a free signed copy of "Advocate" or other original art by the author (while supplies last).
