Since the summer of 2010, Alison Sexson has dedicated her life's work to understanding how to use the law in a way that will uplift those it has historically oppressed. Coming from five generations of educators, Alison is currently a staff attorney at Greater Boston Legal Services and is the point person for the School-to-Prison Pipeline Project. Every week, Greater Boston Legal Services (GBLS) provides free legal assistance and representation on civil (non-criminal) matters to hundreds of residents in the city of Boston and 31 surrounding cities and towns. When they have nowhere else to turn, families and individuals living in poverty, elders, and people with disabilities look to GBLS for help to secure the most basic necessities of life.
