Robbie Tolan

    Robbie Tolan has dedicated the past decade to championing the rights of Black victims seeking justice within the police and judicial systems. His landmark case, Tolan v. Cotton, established a precedent in how judges can grant police officers qualified immunity. Since its 2014 ruling, Tolan's case has been cited and instrumental in thousands of cases involving police brutality. His foundation, Project 1231, is committed to ensuring victims of police brutality receive the support they need. Tola's work confronts systemic racism and injustice within the American legal framework. His advocacy is deeply informed by his own fight for rights, offering a unique lens on the impact of judicial decisions on individuals. He emphasizes educating and empowering communities to challenge inequities.
