Nicole Pittman (she/her)
Executive Director
Unceded Ohlone land (Oakland, CA)
Nicole joined Just Beginnings Collaborative in 2020 with the quest to reimagine the organization and help weave the issue of child sexual abuse into the broader tapestry of social justice movements. She is an Abolitionist Feminist who believes true child sexual abuse prevention begins with unraveling one-size-fits-all responses while examining root causes and amplifying community strengths. With twenty-three years of experience as a lawyer, social justice policy advocate, and activist—and through her work creating national initiatives like the Center on Youth Registration Reform (CYRR), writing a Human Rights Watch report, and transforming legislation—she has seen firsthand that our country’s existing “solutions” are merely after-the-fact responses to harm.
