Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins: Liberty and Justice for All

From an early age, ALF Senior Fellow Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins (Class XVI) has taken on leadership roles that catapulted her to the center of creating a more just, equitable and inclusive world. Her eclectic career path has lead her to running the South Bay Labor Council - representing more than 110,000 union members, to expanding universal healthcare for kids, engaging negatively impacted communities in environmental justice policies, to working with pop sensation Prince in reclaiming ownership of his music catalog. Her latest venture, Promise, is a "decarceration" startup that uses technology to reduce recidivism, minimize costs and promote public safety.
