It's time to learn more about our new Co-Executive Director team and how they will lead our organization. Kristen Rome will focus primarily on much of our external-facing work, which includes policy advocacy and communications. ⁠ ⁠ At LCCR, Kristen has led our team of staff attorneys representing young people who face the most serious sentence any child can receive– Juvenile Life Without Parole (JLWOP). She is not only a defense attorney, she is a mother and New Orleans native who is deeply rooted in this community and dedicated to expanding possibilities for Louisiana families. ⁠ ⁠ She has a history of continuously taking concrete steps to protect the rights of children, helping families navigate interwoven systems that - from conception - define young people’s life outcomes.
