Opportunity Summary 

Policy fellows work with coalitions and legislative offices to draft bill language and move up to three bills through the legislative process. Our policy fellows advocate for releasing incarcerated people, reunifying families, and restoring human and civil rights through storytelling, public speaking, and social media campaigning. They engage with and empower their communities through grassroots organizing. Over the course of the year, our fellows develop the critical skills and experience necessary for a full-time position as an organizer or criminal justice advocate.
