Colorado Freedom Fund Staff.

POLICY DIRECTOR

Rebecca Wallace has led CFF's policy team since 2021, first as Senior Policy Counsel and now as Policy Director. Since graduating from the University of Michigan School of Law, Rebecca has dedicated her career to advancing equity, access, and justice for those most harmed by carceral systems, always with care to center directly impacted people and clear the way for them to lead. She came to CFF after 11 years as a civil rights litigator and policy advocate with the ACLU of Colorado, where in addition to her dual roles as Senior Staff Attorney and Senior Policy Counsel, she helped train organizers and attorneys who were lucky enough to benefit from her mentorship (including future CFF colleague Elisabeth Epps). For over a decade, Rebecca has successfully championed liberatory, data-driven, and most often bipartisan policy at the Colorado State Capitol where she brings her deep expertise on pretrial justice and engages in principled collaborative advocacy. She is a mom of two fantastic boys, an avid white water rafter, wrangler of a hilariously named pup, and a lover of all things nature.
