NLIHC is pleased to welcome Emma Jewell as the Coalition’s 2020 summer field intern. Emma is a rising junior at Smith College pursuing a degree in the Study of Women and Gender. Her passion for equitable, accessible, and affordable housing stems from her academic studies centered on systematic inequity at the intersection of income, race, ability, and gender. She strongly believes that fair and affordable housing is a human right and is eager to learn more about actualizing this right for all. Prior to interning at NLIHC, she interned at a legal advocacy and community organizing nonprofit in Nebraska, where she studied federal policy. Emma is excited to join the team at NLIHC and to experience housing justice advocacy on a national level. Please join us in welcoming Emma to the NLIHC team!
