The Center for Progressive Reform consists of a full-time staff and more than 50 Member Scholars who volunteer their time to support and provide independent policy research, advocacy, congressional testimony, legal insight and analysis, and more.
Our Scholars represent dozens of colleges and universities in every region of the country. They live and work in big cities and small towns, on the coasts and in the heartland, and in about half the states — including blue, purple, and red ones.
Rebecca Bratspies’ dedication to advancing environmental justice is widespread and impactful. She is the founding Director of the Center for Urban Environmental Reform and Professor of Law at the CUNY School of Law in New York City. Her new book, “Naming Gotham,” explores New York City landmarks, neighborhoods, bridges, and roadways and the people they are named for. Previously, Bratspies produced a comic series that teaches environmental justice through the story of a young girl’s efforts to save a vacant lot from becoming a toxic site. In 2022, she was named the International Legal Specialist for Human Rights with the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law Human Rights Programme.
