Executive Director, Just Beginnings Collaborative

Nicole Pittman is Executive Director of Just Beginnings Collaborative and an Abolitionist Feminist who believes true child sexual abuse prevention begins with unraveling one-size-fits-all responses while examining root causes and amplifying community strengths. With twenty-three years of experience as a lawyer, social justice policy advocate, and activist—and through her work creating national initiatives like the Center on Youth Registration Reform (CYRR), writing a Human Rights Watch report, and transforming legislation—she has seen firsthand that our country’s existing “solutions” are merely after-the-fact responses to harm.
