Biography
A.J. Lucky is a former educator and current community awarded organizer. Over the last four years he’s made an incredible impact in education and youth justice reform in Indiana. His work experience and political involvement depicts an investment in creating better outcomes for communities in need, through advocacy, at the local and state level. As a former educator he tackled work with schools in disadvantaged communities by creating innovative theater programs, and STEM partnerships with Purdue’s Polytechnic Department.
A.J. believes organizing is the way to strategic and sustainable change. He partners with local schools to craft campaigns to close opportunity gaps, organizes for champions of education to be elected to our city’s school board, and fights for youth justice reform at the State House. His work with the Youth Justice Coalition, headed by CPLI, led to the passing of SEA 368. This bill created automatic expungement for some non-violent juvenile records, a standard competency to stand trial procedure, and the prohibition of minors being held in adult facilities pretrial. Currently, he’s on the front lines fighting against Indiana’s anti-crt bill HB1134.
Lucky is a midwest native, Purdue Alum, and local creative.
