Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I just wanted to share this with you:<b><br>
<br>
Andrea J. Ritchie</b> will be speaking at the upcoming CLPP
conference From Abortion Rights to Social Justice: Building the
Movement for Reproductive Freedom. Ritchie is a staff attorney with
the Streetwise and Safe Project at the Urban Justice Center in New
York City. She comes to this position as a civil rights attorney who
has engaged in extensive research, writing, speaking and advocacy on
physical and sexual violence by law enforcement agents against women
and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the US
and Canada over the past decade. She has worked with INCITE! Women
of Color Against Violence and is the coauthor of <i>Queer
(In)Justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United
States</i> (Beacon Press). <i>Queer (In)Justice</i> is a searing
examination of queer experiences as “suspects,” defendants,
prisoners and survivors of crime. This new book illuminates the many
ways queer lives are criminalized, policed, and punished,
demonstrating that policing of sex and gender is both integral to
racial profiling and race-based policing and an independent function
of law enforcement. Ritchie is also co-counsel in Doe v. Jindal, the
Center for Constitutional Right’s constitutional challenge to
Louisiana’s 206 year-old Crime Against Nature statute, which carries
unjustifiably harsh penalties, such as mandatory sex offender
registration, and disproportionately affects low-income African
American women and LGBT people. <br>
