WOMEN'S VOICES IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM Featuring Ashley Messier
FREE VIRTUAL SPEAKER SERIES | FEBRUARY 4TH| 12-1PM
Ashley Messier is the Executive Director of the Women's Justice and Freedom Initiative. The Initiative supports and advocates for women, girls, transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people
impacted by systems of oppression and is expressly committed to prison abolition.
"As someone who was a victim of domestic and sexual violence and human trafficking, I did not find any solutions in a jail cell. My community was not any safer because of my incarceration."
Messier's years of community organizing, advocacy, and direct experience with the criminal legal system and substance use disorder, inform her passionate and powerful approach to advocacy, abolition, and policy work.
