Stacy joined Lone Star Justice Alliance in January of 2021, working within their specialized access to clemency program, The Survivors’ Project. Survivors’ Project fights to end the incarceration of children in Texas who are survivors of human trafficking and interpersonal violence, and to obtain clemency for those who have already been convicted of crimes tied to their own victimization.

She has served on the North Texas Coalition Against Human Trafficking, the High Risk Victims Task Force and was member of the Dallas Chapter of Cities Empowered Against Sexual Exploitation (CEASE), a pilot program of Demand Abolition that focuses on demand suppression tactics.
Stacy currently serves as the Board Chair for Poetic. Poetic is a local non-profit that supports exploited adolescent girls transition from the Juvenile Justice System to supported re-entry with an intensive aftercare program.
