Morgan is a proud East Bay native committed to dismantling systems of oppression and building pathways to freedom. She holds a Bachelor of Social Work and a minor in Ethnic Studies from the University of Nevada, Reno, where she began her work developing programs for disenfranchised communities and training students in grassroots legislative advocacy.
Morgan earned her J.D. from UC Law San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings) in 2022. Throughout law school, she fought alongside system-impacted communities as a law clerk at the Contra Costa County Public Defender’s Office and Root & Rebound. She deepened her policy work through the Community Group Advocacy Clinic and a placement at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center focused on divestment from incarceration. Her article, “Capital Punishment and Latiné Populations,” was published in the UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice in 2023.
Before joining the Ella Baker Center, Morgan worked on Root & Rebound’s policy team as a UC Hastings Bridge Fellow. Now, as Prison Advocacy Manager, she directs EBC’s Prison Mail Program, supports implementation of decarceration policies, and helps educate the community on law and regulation changes that impact opportunities for release.
