About Donna R. Gore
I Am LadyJustice
Donna R. Gore's commitment to justice began in 1981, when her father, Lieutenant Robert Gore, was murdered. That loss set her on a lifelong path as a crime victim advocate, speaker, and writer known nationally as LadyJustice.
Her advocacy reaches far beyond the courtroom: disability rights and safety, independent living, elder care, grief and traumatic loss, and LGBTQ+ equality. She established the Patricia V. Gore Memorial Fund in her mother's honor and volunteers with the CUE Center for Missing Persons.
Today Donna brings that lived experience to organizations, families, and audiences who need a clear, compassionate voice.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
