• Building coalitions among nonprofits, organizations, and lawmakers

Corinne has been instrumental in shaping New York’s public health policies, currently leading efforts to pass the Medical Aid in Dying Act in New York after successfully passing similar legislation in New Jersey. A longtime advocate for drug policy reform, she founded the Harm Reduction Law Project at the Urban Justice Center and spent over a decade with the Harm Reduction Coalition developing legal protections for marginalized communities. She is also a founding member of New Yorkers for Mental Health Alternatives, advocating for legal access to psychedelics for mental health. She will share insights on turning advocacy into legislative victories, drawing from her extensive experience advancing policy changes in New York and beyond. This is a great opportunity for SSDPers interested in policy change and we hope to see you there!
