Miriam Mack (she/her)

Campaigns & Advocacy Director, Senior Legal Counsel

Miriam Mack is the Campaigns & Advocacy Director, Senior Legal Counsel at Movement for Family Power, where she uses litigation, policy advocacy, and organizing to help grow, support, and build capacity for the movement to abolish family policing. 

Miriam is a Black mama, movement lawyer, and learner committed to working toward a world rooted in racial, reproductive, and birth justice. She fundamentally believes that building this world is achievable and is dependent on our divesting from systems of punishment, oppression, and isolation, investing in systems of care, support, and interconnectedness, and centering the expertise and leadership of those most impacted by policing systems. 

Prior to joining MFP, Miriam was the Policy Director of The Bronx Defenders’ Family Defense Practice, where she led a team of advocates focused on creating and supporting policies and campaigns that narrow the pathways to (and ultimately end) New York’s family policing system. Also while at The Bronx Defenders, Miriam represented hundreds of parents facing family policing cases, including neglect, abuse, and termination of parental rights cases. Miriam also previously worked at the ACLU of Massachusetts and Ropes & Gray LLP. Miriam clerked for the Honorable Solomon Oliver, Jr., in the Northern District of Ohio, and the Honorable Justice Geraldine S. Hines of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. 

Miriam has a law degree from Boston University School of Law and holds an undergraduate degree in History from Columbia University.
