Join Life After the Impact on July 1st as we talk to an advocate for change, Caitlin Holbrook. Learn how you too can get involved to create change.
Caitlin Holbrook is a rising law student at Georgetown University Law School. Eight of her family members have been incarcerated, and her mother was the director of the juvenile halls in her hometown of Santa Barbara, California. Her life experiences informed Caitlin to be an ardent abolitionist. She attends law school (and does everything else) to be the best resource for the movement to end prisons and police.
Since May 2024, Caitlin has assisted in directly representing individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She assists lawyers investigating institutions that confine and serve people with disabilities in D.C. At Georgetown Law, she co-founded the Georgetown Abolition Advocacy Project with her friends. The Project integrates abolitionism into legal education and connects law students to local and federal abolition organizations and movements. This summer, while being a law clerk, she is also spending her summer assisting her professor with his project of establishing a coop grocery store in the food desert in Ward 7. Before law school, she worked at DC Justice Lab, assisting attorneys on 23 grassroots bills and campaigns to transform D.C.’s systems of policing, prosecution, and punishment. Most of her work focused on the conditions of confinement in the D.C. jails and conditions of reentry. Caitlin got her BA in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley, and is a 2024 Justice John Paul Stevens public interest fellow.
