In particular, we seek to disentangle police from immigration enforcement and to reimagine community safety by building preventative, restorative, and community-based alternatives to our punitive criminal legal system. Our work includes community education, legal representation, and policy advocacy on behalf of low-income immigrants and communities of color. The Staff Attorney will engage in policy advocacy, coalition-building, direct services work, and litigation to develop alternatives to our punitive criminal legal system while reducing the role of the existing system and disentangling police from immigration enforcement.

Work with District Attorney offices, police departments, and other system actors to develop and implement policies that support ALC goals. These include restricting cooperation with ICE and with national security agencies, restricting various harmful police and surveillance tactics, making non-carceral alternatives easily available to victims, and supporting victims who opt for non-carceral alternatives.
