Rachel Cohen, a graduate of The Ohio State University and Harvard Law School, is an activist, organizer, and former big law attorney. She recently resigned from her position as an associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP in protest of the industry’s capitulation to the Trump administration.
