On we spotlight one member of the Junior Board, a group of young professionals located across the US who are committed to supporting ’s critical work through , , and .
Today we are excited to introduce Madeline Elliott (she/her), who is a Senior Analyst at Accenture and a co-director of the Marketing Committee.
Why did Madeline join the Junior Board? She says: “as a q***r person from Texas (a state with serious human rights concerns for migrants and asylum-seekers), i am passionate about helping LGBTQ asylum seekers not only find safety, but find a way to fulfill their potential and live their best lives! i'm also studying Gender & Migration at the graduate school level right now, and i wanted to be a part of the tangible work of improving policy and making space for q***r migrants and asylum seekers in the US”
An interesting fact about her: “i play the piano and compose music, and would love to tour someday with a band!”
A policy change that Madeline would make: “one *set* of policy changes that i'm particularly upset/passionate about at the moment is the rollback of progress in reproductive rights policies and the increase in policing of women's bodies (especially q***r women). abortion access and access to reproductive healthcare is a right, not a privilege, which seems to be something the policymakers in the South & our Supreme Court need a firm reminder of!”
We are so lucky to have Madeline on our team! Check back next week to learn about another one of our members.
