I’m creating this fundraiser during one of the hardest seasons of my life. A few months ago, I was illegally terminated from the UCLA DEI Office for speaking my mind about Charlie Kirk.

Since then I have been implicitly blacklisted throughout the higher education industry, the field in which I've spent my career.

Even with my background from top-UVA School of Law and my experience as in-house counsel at Harvard University, I’ve been applying for jobs every day and facing immediate rejection after rejection.

It has been disorienting and deeply painful to work so hard for a career and then suddenly struggle just to meet basic daily needs.

Right now, I’m asking for help covering essential living expenses for the month of September, like rent, bills, groceries, transportation, and caring for my pets while I continue searching for work.

This support will give me the stability to keep a roof over our heads, keep myself and my pets healthy, and make it through this period without falling further behind.

Your donations will also help me continue my activism, working to free I.C.E. abductees and reunite families, without the constant fear of how I will pay for basic necessities.

The fight for justice takes a village. Community is the greatest threat to the fascism we are seeing implemented throughout our nation.

If the immigrants kidnapped by I.C.E. have to rely on the kindness of strangers, then I will too.

If you are able to give, share, or simply stand with me, your support would mean more than I can express.

Thank you for helping me stay housed, healthy, and able to keep fighting for others during this difficult time.
