This is an important podcast episode to Aria. Ashley is a friend, teammate, teacher and constant source of inspiration for Aria. Ashley’s influence runs deep and wide in Aria’s life, and she is so grateful to share Ashley’s wisdom with all of you!
For over a decade Ashley has worked in the heart of the social justice movement in Rochester, New York. She began first as an Advocate with Refugees helping Refugees, then as the Fight for 15 Lead Organizer and Racial Justice Organizer for Metro justice, then the state-wide Lead Organizer on criminal justice reform on the FREENY campaign at Just leadership USA. Ashley is currently the Lead Organizer for NYCLU- Genesee Valley chapter. She joined Aria Strategies in October 2018 as Operations Manager while continuing in her capacity as a criminal justice reform advocate and community organizer. Ashley shifted her focus at Aria Strategies to Special Projects in February 2019 where she provides essential consultation and advice to our team.
Ashley serves as chair of the Advisory Board for the YWCA of Rochester where she works with families directly affected by homelessness, addiction, re-entry and domestic abuse. She is the co-leader and Diversity Chair for Action Together Rochester, where she fights for progressive causes through collaboration, education, equity and advocacy in our community.
