About Me

I have been teaching at Seattle University School of Law since 2008. Here is the website Links to an external site. where you can see more about my writing, research, video projects, and teaching. I was a poverty lawyer before I was a law professor. I started an organization called the Sylvia Rivera Law Project Links to an external site. in New York City in 2002 which still serves clients today. For more than two decades, I have been active in feminist, queer, and trans grassroots movements to end policing, imprisonment, and border enforcement.
