88. Camille Mackler
Director of Immigration Legal Policy
New York Immigration Coalition
As the director of immigration legal policy, Camille Mackler focuses on all policies regarding right to counsel for immigrant communities. Her hard work has paid off: New York recently became the first state to introduce a law that would create a right to an attorney for immigrants facing deportation. Mackler wrote that the moment reminded her “that we may sometimes feel like we are down, but we are definitely not out.”
