My name is Anne Kehl. I am a junior at Gonzaga University, and I am a criminology major with a psychology minor.

The type of editing I started with was simple copy editing: adding commas where necessary, spell-checking, and editing sentences for brevity and legibility.

The article I was assigned is about the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, which advocates for LGBTQIA+ and other minorities in the criminal justice system in an especially intersectional way. Grounded in trans rights theory, the SRLP seeks to assist minorities with civil and criminal trials, as well as educating the general population and backing important legislation. Some of their current projects include:


 * prison reform, especially focusing on trans rights for prisoners
 * fighting for no new jails being built in New York and instead, spending this money on improving the current system
 * critiquing the for-profit prison system and the prison-industrial complex in general, and
 * ensuring safe and healthy conditions for LGBTQIA+ bodies, especially youth, in foster care/shelters.
