Her practice includes civil rights defense, immigration assistance, and advocacy for prisoners. Before becoming a lawyer, Sarah spent many years working in the harm reduction movement in Seattle and New York City. She led the first needle exchange program in the borough of Queens, building an innovative peer-to-peer model in close alliance with active drug users and sex workers. She also co-founded the Northwest chapter of the Iraqi Refugee Assistance project. Sarah remains committed to organizational models that are liberating, community-led, and non-hierarchical. Sarah’s artistic practice includes writing, cultural research, and collaborative work with performance and visual artists, most recently Degenerate Art Ensemble and Path With Arts. Her book of short fiction, Complicity, is available from Publication Studio.
