I hope UMass commits to fighting for college affordability and greater campus diversity - centering the experiences of our working class, low income, and marginalized communities.

My most recent @GlobeOpinion piece (and first as a lawyer) is on the subject of the Mass family shelter system. I write about my lived experiences, and argue against changes by the gov & the legislature to make it more difficult for folks to get shelter.

With him selected as the GOP VP candidate, just a reminder that @JDVance1’s “Hillbilly Elegy” does *not* speak for poverty in this country. It blames the victims of poverty for their conditions instead of attacking the systems that allow it to exist.

The idea that the Supreme Court is a neutral arbiter of the law is shown to be an utter farce when conservative justices parlay with billionaires and then swiftly come out with a decision that directly serves their corporate interest.

Yet another sickening decision that reinforces our country’s cruelty and dehumanization of unhoused communities. It also flies in the face of all facts: anti-homeless criminalization laws only exacerbate homelessness and lead to the evisceration of their civil & human rights.

Our paper is out now! 👇 It explores the lived experiences of dissidents facing cyber-harassment while they fight for human rights, & proposes a filter to identify and block likely harassers as a remedy. So proud to have been part of this effort with such a great team!.

Just another gross person who views the homeless as inhuman…she coerced an unhoused, mentally ill person to jump into a lake on a bet - - who could not swim - - and then ran away when they cried for help. The classism is beyond abhorrent.

I live with constant gratitude for the legal aid attorneys who intervened in my own family’s life, and showed me that a better path - and world - out of poverty was possible.

I think we have enough silver spoons monopolizing our political system today, no thanks.

Yesterday, separate from my @GlobeOpinion article, my story about overcoming and surviving homelessness was featured in @BostonGlobe. Proud to have had another chance to share my story as I prepare to graduate!.

Today, the eve of my @Suffolk_Law commencement, my most recent @GlobeOpinion article has been published, where I describe my lived experiences and longstanding belief in a world without homelessness, built from policies that make housing a human right.

Job training programs will not reduce the damage that placing a time-limit on emergency shelter for *families* will cause, when there are years long waitlists for non-private housing; private housing costs are excessive; & eviction records remain public, regardless of disposition.

Speaking as someone who has actually lived in EA shelter, I am extremely disappointed in this. The reason so many families are in shelter for so long is because there are few stable pathways to become stably housed amidst a lack of affordable housing after you’ve become homeless.

Access to emergency shelter fundamentally changed my life, giving me the opportunity & space to escape homelessness. The MA state legislature must maintain the existing “right” to shelter, to prevent families from falling into the cycle of homelessness, poverty, and trauma.

“Tell your colleagues: Historically, there were many systems that were status quo, which we now look back on with disgust. Ask them: ‘when the reckoning comes for homelessness, which side of history will you be on?’”.
