lorilei w.

 

lorilei w. (they/them) is a queer, trans non-binary Korean-American abolitionist, artist, and attorney. They are the founder of the Resilient Advocates Collective, an organization which provides training, mentorship, and community support for legal advocates committed to engaging in Resilient Advocacy – a systems theory approach to legal advocacy that is rooted in a trauma-informed, antiracist, and intersectional understanding of individuals, communities, society, and the larger systems we participate in collectively. They have conducted training sessions and presented on panels on their approaches to legal advocacy since 2013 when they began their career as an attorney for detained unaccompanied migrant children. lorilei used their own personal experiences of migration and violence, and their professional experiences in law, business, and science, to develop a replicable approach to legal practice that is both trauma-informed and strategic. lorilei’s work has resulted in numerous proven successes, from innovative approaches to volunteer management in high-volume, rapid response legal projects to community-driven group advocacy and impact litigation efforts.
