Alessandra Stevens is excited to be continuing her work at Sur Legal as a full-time Staff Attorney after two years as a Justice Catalyst Fellow and to continue working to combat the labor abuse to deportation pipeline. At Sur Legal, Alessandra provides information, tools and legal support to grassroots organizers and immigrant workers so they can safely assert their rights and combat unsafe working conditions without fear of deportation or criminalization. 

Alessandra is a graduate of the Northeastern University School of Law, and a Dean Curran Scholar in Action at the Emory University School of Public Health. Prior to attending law school, she served as Associate Director of Policy and Governmental Affairs for Mujeres Latinas en Acción, a Chicago-based non-profit serving Latinx survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. In that role she had the privilege of working with grassroots coalition partners on state and local policies to advance the rights of immigrant women across Illinois.  Alessandra is admitted to the Illinois Bar.
