Gina is the founder of #MomsAgainstTorture and now a board member of James Cerebral Palsy Foundation. Gina is our chief officer on mental illness. She comes with life experience having mental illness and along with her family.

As a matter of survival. The impacted Black and Indigenous moms who founded #MomsAgainstTorture have been fighting to protect their families and communities for years. There has been no justice for us in the criminal legal system, which has been all too happy to torture our loved ones for profit instead of providing them treatment.
