| The
newest member of the FFE board, Cassandra
Abodeely is a law student and paralegal
in a law firm specializing in First
Amendment and human rights issues.
Her interest in protecting free speech
was piqued while living and working
in South Africa in the post-Apartheid
period, and experiencing first-hand
a nation in which an entire race of
individuals, and especially women,
had been silenced. During that time
she became committed to protecting
both the right to free speech and the
rights of women. Upon her return to
the United States, she taught in the
Boston Public School system, giving
lectures and mediating discussions
for teens and young adults about the
importance of free speech and its effect
on each of us. Raised in New Jersey
and on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, she
currently lives in New York and plays
for the greatest rugby club ever. < PREVIOUS
