Working closely with a coalition of dozens of organizations, he helped coordinate a civil rights push to extend a crucial discount for broadband access to eligible low-income households across the country.

In Congress, he worked with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) to strengthen and reintroduce a repeal of mandatory minimum sentences.
