As the executive director of The Gathering for Justice, Carmen has crossed the globe promoting peace through civil and human rights, building alternatives to incarceration and violence, and providing commentary and guidance for state and federal policy creation. As national co-chair of the Women's March on Washington, she helped create the biggest global protest ever, with more than five million marching in resistance of hatred, bigotry, affirming women of all identities' rights as human beings. A renaissance woman of modern-day activism and one of TIME's "Most Influential People"(2017), Carmen engages audiences in a dialogue on vital civil rights issues, including mass and child incarceration, juvenile and criminal justice reform, gender equity, violence prevention, racial healing and community policing. She equips audiences with tools and insights that inspire civic engagement and political activism and help bring justice and bold policy change to communities. If you stay after her session, she will be having a reception and autograph session as a follow up. *EVENT HAS BEEN MOVED TO APRIL 2ND. HOPE TO SEE Y’ALL THERE :) *
