Ravi Mangla is an author, community supporter and journalist. He has previously worked for Citizen Action of New York and The Appeal covering politics and criminal justice. His work has been published in The Atlantic, The Nation and many other organizations.
“My expertise is in community organizing and then I transitioned into communications work,” Mangla said. “I’ve done a lot of press strategy and press relations type of work—mostly for nonprofits and social justice organizations. Currently, I work for a media outlet that specifically focuses on criminal justice reform. I would say that criminal justice reform is probably my second biggest passion. I’ve done a lot of working with local reporters here, trying to pitch different stories to them around a lot of criminal justice issues.”
Mangla’s novel Understudies was published in 2013.
