I provide accompaniment to families who are seeking justice for loved ones taken by police violence. My work centers on helping families navigate systems that were never meant to serve them.

I help bridge language, legal, and logistical gaps so families can make informed decisions about how to pursue justice — whether through a lawsuit, policy advocacy, or direct action. Together, we map out what’s possible, who’s who, and how to use their powerful voices and limited resources in ways that feel true to them.

There is a very fine line between activism that retraumatizes and action that supports healing and empowerment. Let the families lead.

Selected Highlights

Inter-American Commission on Human Rights Testimony (2017)

Participated in a thematic hearing denouncing police impunity in the U.S., alongside Luis Poot Pat and international human rights groups. This hearing included testimony about the killing of Luis Góngora Pat.

To explore earlier connections between the killings of Alex Nieto and Luis Góngora Pat, see this 2016 interview on Democracy Now! with Rebecca Solnit and myself.
