National Lawyers Guild San Francisco Bay Area Chapter

• United States
• Legal Services

• Legal Intern

  • Aug 2020 - Jan 2021

  The National Lawyers Guild values human and civil rights over property rights. They connect lawyers, law students, legal workers, and jailhouse lawyers to function as an effective political and social force to protect and defend communities, social justice movements, and political and grassroots organizations and activists advocating and organizing for those rights. As an intern for the SF Bay Area Chapter, I document and organize evidence for a law firm handling a civil rights case. Additionally, I collaborate with bay area community-based organizations in order to launch a series of town halls. The town halls are in response to community efforts to demilitarize the police.



COVID-19 Rapid Response Systems Summer Institute

• United States
• Higher Education

• People's Justice Fellow

  • Jun 2020 - Jul 2020

  The COVID-19 Rapid Response/Systems Summer Institute at Harvard Law is a collaboration between the People’s Parity Project (PPP), the Systemic Justice Project (SJP), and the Justice Catalyst (JC) which pairs fellows with legal and law-related organizations on the front lines of responding to the COVID-19 crisis. While working on urgent projects, fellows also participate in intensive weekly programming aimed at addressing systemic issues and understanding community-based lawyering. As a fellow, I assisted the Disability Law Center (DLC) in Boston, Massachusetts by researching and interviewing Long Term Care Facilities in Massachusetts as of function of the protection and advocacy authority and researching how state actors responded to the COVID-19 pandemic to identify the needs of individuals with disabilities. I also worked with the National Lawyers Guild in San Francisco, California (NLG-SF) on its activist and demonstration support. I created Know Your Rights materials for social media and coordinated a webinar series for protestors. Additionally, I managed communication between the NLG-SF and members of its database.
