It has been a while but I have some personal & professional news! I moved to Nashville and started a new job at Vanderbilt Law. We’re launching a project focused on prosecution and criminal justice in the South. So grateful for the opportunity. Stay tuned for more!

Incredibly grateful that @seeingrape could be a part of our convening last month. It sparked a thoughtful and deeply meaningful conversation about sexual harm. Every prosecutor should explore using this program in their own community.
In order to be an IIP employee, you have to divert to being a Yankees fan! (FYI Harry is a die hard Red Sox fan 😂). #IIPTakesYankeeStadium
As a fmr sex crimes prosecutor at @ManhattanDA, the conversations last week were difficult but inspiring. Big thanks to our facilitators @AlissaAckerman, @BennettCapers, @cynthia_godsoe, Jennifer Long (@AEquitasResourc), & Deborah Tuerkheimer. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Exciting to see @IIP_JohnJay's policy attorney give this important training to my old office. Through trainings like this, prosecutors can learn to engage with the communities they serve with transparency and respect.

A big thank you to @ManhattanDA, @MattVanHouten12, @SAKimFoxx, @jeanpetersbaker, @DaliaRacine, @Deberry4DA, John Choi, David Sullivan and many others for attending this week’s convening on sex crimes prosecution and engaging the conversation w/ transparency and respect.

Missed our latest panel on the wrongful convictions of women featuring @valenabeety, @MBluestine, and @SunnyEaton? Check out the full recording at prosecution.org/wrongful-convi…. To watch all of our previous panels, visit prosecution.org/events.
ICYMI: The IIP has launched our new guide on protecting workers' rights and wage theft enforcement strategies. Leaders like @BrooklynDA provided us w/ insight into how they combat wage theft and how offices across the country can do the same. More at prosecution.org/wagetheft
Proud to partner with @IIP_JohnJay on their new guide to protecting workers and combatting wage theft. Local prosecutors can lead by engaging with vulnerable communities & ensuring accountability for those who violate workers’ rights. Read it here: prosecution.org/wagetheft
Protecting workers' rights and their wages is a component of maintaining public safety and thriving communities. We are grateful to our partner offices, like @QueensDAKatz, who shared their insights & strategies in our guide to combating wage theft. prosecution.org/wagetheft
Prosecuting wage theft cases sends a strong message to unscrupulous employers that cheating workers doesn’t pay. I commend @IIP_JohnJay for publishing these guidelines that can help address this all-too-pervasive crime that victimizes hardworking people.
