Civic Speaker Series: A Conversation with
Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins
A virtual conversation
with Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins on Thursday, April 22
from 4 - 5 p.m. This event is the first of the MRISJ Civic Speaker Series.
District
Attorney Rachael Rollins is the chief law enforcement officer for Boston,
Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop Massachusetts. She is the first woman ever
elected as District Attorney in Suffolk County and the first woman of color
ever elected to serve in this role in Massachusetts. Her story serves as an
inspiration to those seeking to make a difference through public service.
Dr. Mary Grant, Senior Administrative Fellow for Civics & Social Justice, will provide opening remarks and Dr. Mia Ortiz, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice at Bridgewater
State University, will moderate the conversation. Zahara Townsend, an undergraduate Justice Fellow, will also assist with moderating. Together, they will discuss DA
Rollins’ experience running for office, her impressive work as an advocate for
criminal justice reform and racial equity through her position in public
leadership.
