Judith Browne Dianis Biography

Judith Browne Dianis is a civil rights attorney, professor, and advocate whose career centers on racial justice and democratic inclusion. Recognized as a voting rights expert and a leader in efforts to address the school-to-prison pipeline, Browne Dianis directs the Advancement Project National Office's initiatives to challenge structural racism in education, voting, policing, criminal justice, and immigration. Her experiences protesting racism as a student at the University of Pennsylvania and facing job discrimination influenced her pursuit of movement lawyering. After earning a law degree from Columbia University and receiving a Skadden Fellowship, Browne Dianis became managing attorney at the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund in Washington, D.C.

Browne Dianis co-founded the Advancement Project, collaborating with grassroots partners to address inequities and promote systemic change. She has served as an adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center and as a Tobias Simon Eminent Scholar at Florida State University Law School. Her reports, "Opportunities Suspended" and "Derailed: The Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Track," contributed to shifting national conversations on school discipline and youth criminalization. Through advocacy and storytelling, including the Webby-nominated video series "How Cops Get Off," Browne Dianis has worked to make issues of justice accessible to broad audiences.

Browne Dianis played a key role in launching the Advancement Project's voter protection work during the Florida election crisis. The organization has partnered with grassroots and national groups to oppose voter suppression measures, such as strict voter ID laws, reductions in early voting, polling location closures, and felony disenfranchisement. Her leadership contributed to significant victories, including Florida's Amendment 4, which restored voting rights to individuals with past felony convictions, advancing democratic participation.

Browne Dianis regularly provides commentary on education, voting rights, and race on networks including MSNBC, CNN, and BET. She received the Kettering Democracy Prize from the Charles F. Kettering Foundation, the Prime Movers Fellowship for social movement leaders, and was named one of the "30 Women to Watch" by Essence magazine. Columbia Law School honored her as the Social Justice Initiatives Distinguished Public Interest Graduate of the Year. Browne Dianis's work in litigation, advocacy, and communications positions her as an authoritative voice on democracy, racial equity, and the need to address systemic injustice.
