Dr. Jeanine Abrams McLean is the President at Fair Count, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works to ensure that every person in the United States is counted for a fair and accurate census and to build pathways to continued civic participation, including voting and redistricting. She is a highly skilled researcher with over 20 years of experience conducting population-based studies and projects. She led the creation of statistically-relevant census undercount maps of all 50 states, with a focus on Black and Latinx communities, and advocated for community-driven solutions through the pairing of researchers and organizers. Jeanine is a part of the inaugural Keseb Democracy Fellowship that focuses on cross-country learning with democracy entrepreneurs from the US, Brazil, and South Africa. She was recently selected as a Highland Project Leader, where she will focus on using political agency to develop long-term solutions to advance justice and multi-generational opportunities.
