She also oversees place-based initiatives in California, Louisiana, and New York, ensuring that local needs shape national reform. She is nationally recognized as an expert on criminal legal reform. Rahman has been featured in leading outlets such as The New York Times, NPR, City and State, Mother Jones, PBS’s MetroFocus, and The Nation.
