A Tulsa native, Briggs joins the Reporters Committee from the Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law & Justice, a nonprofit that fights for justice and opportunity for all Oklahomans, where she served as its legal director. In that role, Briggs developed legal strategies challenging the deprivation of constitutional rights for LGBTQ+ public school students, curbing breaches to the separation of church and state by the executive branch, freeing unfairly incarcerated survivors of domestic violence, and reshaping the criminal competency restoration system in the state of Oklahoma. She also worked on legislation reforming the criminal justice system, including the successful passage of SB1835, the Oklahoma Survivors’ Act, and co-hosted the Anthem award-winning podcast, Panic Button.
