Justice Connection is led by Stacey Young, an 18-year DOJ veteran who worked at the Department until January 24, 2025. She served as a Senior Attorney in the Civil Division and later in the Civil Rights Division, working under four presidential administrations and seven Attorneys General.
Stacey founded the DOJ Gender Equality Network in 2016 and served as its president. After intimidation from the current administration, she shut down the organization on the day she left the Department. She and DOJ GEN advocated for policies and practices that made the Department—and the entire federal government—a safer, healthier, and fairer place to work. She will continue this work with Justice Connection.
Justice Connection will be advised by a committee of former senior DOJ officials, who current employees know and trust.
