Cynthia Galaz
Cynthia Galaz is a Senior Policy Associate with Freedom for Immigrants, an organization that seeks to abolish the immigration detention system by building monitoring, organizing and political power. She leads FFI’s local and state advocacy, working to advance legislation to abolish detention in New York and other states as part of a regional strategy to win abolition, nationally. She also plays a key role in developing federal policies that invest in community-based programs that welcome and support immigrants rather than imprisoning them. Cynthia holds an MSc in Social Policy from the University of Oxford and a BA in Global Studies and Public Affairs from UCLA.
