Tinisch Hollins
Tinisch Hollins is the Executive Director of Californians for Safety and Justice — the Alliance for Safety and Justice’s flagship state-based program in California. A crime survivor and native San Franciscan, she served in local leadership positions, including the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice before joining CSJ in 2019.
Her leadership helped to pass historic first-in-the-nation legislation that extended employment leave for survivors of violence, as well as legislation permitting crime victims to terminate their leases if they no longer feel safe in their homes following a crime.
She has been deeply engaged in the Bay Area social justice movement as a community organizer, policy advocate and systems navigator for nearly two decades. Tinisch works passionately to center survivors' voices in public policy and advocates for those voices to guide decisions, priorities, and resources.
