Senior Supervising Attorney, Children’s Rights
at Southern Poverty Law Center
Atlanta, GA; Jackson, MS; Miami, FL; Montgomery, AL; New Orleans, LA;
Tallahassee, FL
Summary:
The Senior Supervising Attorney co-leads the Southern Poverty Law Center’s
Children’s Rights work throughout the region. This includes children’s
rights-related litigation integrated with other forms of advocacy to dismantle
the school-to-prison, school-to-institutionalization and school-to-deportation
pipelines; to protect and strengthen public education, a cornerstone of our
democracy, as an equitably-resourced common good to which all school-aged
children have free and meaningful access so that students and communities can
thrive, especially Black students, students of color, students with
disabilities, English learners, immigrant children, LGBTQ+ students, students
experiencing homelessness, and students living in poverty; to ensure access to
effective, community-based mental health services for children; to reduce the
overreliance on institutionalized care, involuntary psychiatric care and other
involuntary commitments that segregate children without providing the services
they need; to reduce the number of detained and incarcerated children; and to
ensure that children living in poverty and low-income households have access to
equitable resources to thrive. . . . see the link for more information and a
