Brittany Lovely is a 2026 Juris Doctor Candidate at Georgetown Law, where she is an Opportunity Scholar, RISE Fellow, and NAACP Legal Defense Fund Herbert Lehman Scholar. She is Co-Founder and leads the Abolition Advocacy Project (AAP), where she serves as President and Editor-in-Chief (Content Curator) of Abolition Law & Policy Review. Originally founded as a student-led initiative, AAP expanded into a national project, advancing abolitionist legal scholarship and policy while integrating traditional legal environments with the radical movement toward collective liberation.

Prior to law school, Brittany served as staff to Governor Inslee’s Washington Statewide Reentry Council, shaping reentry and decarceration policy across the state. Additionally, she led multiple state-level policy coalitions, successfully introducing and passing legislation to eliminate collateral consequences of incarceration, and consulted for community and governmental partners on justice and reentry initiatives. She graduated summa cum laude from Washington State University, where she achieved her Bachelor’s Degree in Public Affairs with a concentration in Justice.

Her work centers on the conviction that abolition is both a theory and a practice—an ongoing project of rebuilding the world beyond punishment.
