I’m an organizer and a lawyer, working and organizing around judges, elections, and movement power building.
I run a project that holds judges accountable and pushes for more progressive judges on state courts in New York and elsewhere. My most impactful work so far has been The Court New York Deserves, a campaign that started with New York’s Chief Judge vacancy (for more on that campaign and my role in it, see here and here) and more recently has focused on trial court judges.
I organize with NYC-DSA, the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. I’m one of the leaders of Comrades with Kids, NYC-DSA’s parents group, and Kids Over Cars.
In the past, I’ve worked for the Lawyers Alliance for New York, advising New York City nonprofit organizations on legal matters; for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund‘s Voting Rights Defender Project; as a senior field manager on Beto O’Rourke‘s 2018 Senate campaign in Texas; as an investigator for Brooklyn Defender Services; in youth development and community organizing for the Crown Heights Community Mediation Center; as a freelance writer, editor, and teacher in Bogotá, Colombia; and as a journalist and substitute high school teacher. I also founded and co-led Indivisible Brooklyn; interned with Forward Justice in Durham, North Carolina; interned with the No Exceptions Prison Collective in Nashville, Tennessee; and had two gigs as a voice actor in 2011.
