Justice According to Whom? Lisalyn Jacobs and Linking Healing with Policy Change

In this episode of VALOR Conversations, Lisalyn Jacobs joins Leah Aldridge to share her journey from unexpectedly finding herself in the movement to end sexual and domestic violence, breaking down economic and restorative justice, and becoming one of the architects of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Reauthorization in 2021. 

Lisalyn, Founder and CEO of Just Solutions, has spent her career pushing towards survivor-centered policy by expanding the definition of justice by listening to survivors and advocating on behalf of their definitions of justice. Lisalyn’s and Leah’s conversation brings deep insight into the behind-the-scenes steps that legislation and policy go through to make the work to prevent sexual violence, support healing after harm, and finding justice more accessible for survivors across the nation.
