I am the Health Care Policy Analyst/ Organizer for the Campaign for America's Future. I was born and raised in Southern California. I began working on progressive causes as a teenager in the environmental movement. I was introduced to grassroots organizing by the California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG), and fell in love with the progressive activist lifestyle. I also worked on Moveon.org's Leave no Voter Behind Campaign for the 2004 Presidential Election in Cincinnati, Ohio.

--Eric Lotke was Research Director at the Campaign for America's Future from 2006 to 2010. Nowadays he works full time at SEIU, but he remains a Research Fellow at CAF.

Before coming to CAF, he worked over a decade in and around the criminal justice system. At the Justice Policy Institute and a Soros Senior Justice Fellow, he authored path breaking research on the demographics of incarceration, patterns of youth homicide, and the fiscal and electoral impact of the U.S. Census Bureau counting people in prison where they are confined rather than their original homes. As Executive Director of D.C. Prisoners’ Legal Services Project, Mr. Lotke represented inmates in a groundbreaking class action lawsuit against the private Corrections Corporation of America, and he pioneered litigation over excessive, non-competitive pricing of prison phone calls. Mr. Lotke has been an adjunct professor at Georgetown and George Washington Universities, and a judicial clerk on the Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Most recently, Mr. Lotke published a novel, 2044. 2044 starts where George Orwell’s 1984 left off. The problem isn’t Big Brother and the leviathan government. The problem is Big Brother Inc., and the all-powerful marketplace.
