Megan Maury

Meghan’s our Senior Policy Counsel and Criminal and Economic Justice Project Director. Her work spans a broad range of issue areas, but focuses heavily on economic justice, criminal justice, and data collection. Before entering the legal field Meghan was a bit of a renaissance queer, spending time managing a restaurant, working at a factory, running a bookstore, trekking over 500 miles of the Appalachian trail, and volunteering in Guatemala, among many other things. The years she spent splitting her time between political activism and tax accounting were what drove her to pursue a career in law. Before joining the Task Force Meghan worked with a variety of policy advocacy and legal service organizations, including the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Citizens for Tax Justice, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, and the Criminal Defense and Prisoner Advocacy Clinic. Meghan is also a founding member and serves on the Steering Committee of Trans Legal Advocates of Washington, DC (TransLAW DC), a non-profit organization formed to better serve the legal needs of transgender people in the Washington DC metro area.
