New York, Us

Advocacy and Policy Counsel for the American Civil Liberty Union’s Campaign to End Mass Incarceration, where she worked to advance state legislative and policy reforms to reduce criminalization and incarceration, in close collaboration with national partners, ACLU affiliates, and state advocacy partners. Her policy expertise includes both state-specific substantive criminal law reforms as well as practical, commonsense alternatives to the criminal justice system as a catch-all problem solving tool. She has advanced bills to modify extreme sentencing laws, implement sensible drug policies focused on health rather than criminalization, and reduce the tide of low-level offenses into the criminal justice system. Her work is grounded in the principle of racial justice and a conviction that in order to foster safe and healthy communities, we must end our addition to incarceration as the answer to all our social problems.
