Eric Lotke writes from the heart of the progressive political movement.
As Research Director at the Campaign for America’s Future he has researched policy failures of conservative ideology and developed progressive alternatives. He has published pathbreaking research on subjects ranging from clean energy to urban infrastructure. As Policy Director at the Justice Policy Institute and Executive Director of the D.C. Prisoners’ Legal Services Project, he has brought lawsuits and ballot initiatives, and done all kinds of political organizing to turn ideas into reality.
He has also worked directly with people “on the wrong side of the track.” He has run programs for troubled youths and people returning from prison, and he has represented people accused of terrifying crimes.
An attorney with a Masters in Philosophy, Eric has taught law school classes and flushed every toilet in the D.C. Jail. He lives with his wife and two children in Arlington, Virginia.
