Selected policy initiatives.
In 2022, I had the opportunity to consult with PolicyLink on their infrastructure justice campaign as a comms consultant, where I ghostwrote and copyedited all campaign materials (including video scripts, blog posts, and reports) and provided strategic advice for the campaign launch.
In 2016, I helped Ezra Ritchin found a volunteer not-for-profit called the Dollar Bail Brigade (DBB). As founding director, I led efforts to address the injustice of cash bail in the criminal punishment system. Through strategic advocacy and community organizing, we were able to bring about legislative change and successfully bail out hundreds of people who were awaiting trial simply because they could not afford to pay bail. My strengths in this work included my ability to bring together diverse stakeholders, build relationships with communities, and effectively communicate the urgency and importance of our mission.
