Kung Li
Movement Law Lab Fellow & Former Litigator
As staff attorney and then Executive Director at the Southern Center for Human Rights, Kung Li acted as lead or co-counsel in class action litigation regarding prisons, jails, detention centers, and other components of the criminal-legal system throughout the South. They have been involved in campaigns to close prisons and jails, minimize the detention of migrants, change sentencing laws, and reallocate municipal and state budgets away from punishment to invest in community-centered services.
They have negotiated with wardens, sheriffs, police officers, police chiefs, Department of Corrections Commissioners, ICE officials, mayors, legislators, and journalists, as well as friends, co-workers, allies, bill collectors, and used car salesmen. Kung Li believes (almost) everything is negotiable, and that believing otherwise limits our agency and power.
