Welcoming a new blogger at Texas Prison Bid'ness - Piper Madison

We are pleased to welcome Piper Madison

as our newest Texas Prison Bid'ness blogger. Piper is working this year in the Grassroots Leadership's Austin office, coming to us through the Presbyterian Church U.S.A.’s Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) Program, which matches young adults with non-profits for a year of service.

Piper graduated in May from the University of Alabama in Birmingham with a degree in North African Studies, which involved studying not only French and Arabic language but also the effects of political and economic colonialism on non-dominant ethnicities. Piper has served the PCUSA in various functions, most recently as an advisory delegate to the 220th General Assembly, where she advocated for queer rights and inclusivity.
