She is also a co-founder of Transformative Prison Work (TPW), a collective that convened more than 40 organizations serving incarcerated people in order to grow services in carceral settings while raising awareness among the public and with legislators. Billie has worked on numerous death penalty cases, she's the former Board Chair of Death Penalty Focus and founder of the Coalition to End California Executions (CECE), which was established to provide the California governor with the information and inspiration to cease executions of the more than 730 people on California's Death Row. This effort was realized with Governor Newsom’s recent order to halt executions and dismantle the death chamber at San Quentin. Billie has also investigated, researched, and written extensively about criminal justice/prison reform, Restorative/Transformational Justice, racial, gender & LGBTQIA equity, and coalition building.
