About me
Sam Heath spent ten years teaching high school history before moving into the organizing and advocacy world with Equal Justice USA, a national nonprofit doing work on death penalty repeal, restorative justice, and community safety. A master's in Theology, Ethics, & Culture is what brought him to UVA in 2013. He now leads a statewide nonprofit called the Commonwealth Justice Coalition, which reimagines public safety. He and his wife Rachel have three energetic kids and live in Charlottesville, VA.
