Leadership committed to dignity, safety, and a path forward.

Jennifer Richey is a licensed clinical social worker, mental health professional, therapist, advocate, and Founder and President of the National Justice & Care Alliance (NJCA).

For more than a decade, Jennifer has dedicated her career to working with children, families, survivors of trauma, individuals with disabilities, and people navigating some of the most difficult circumstances of their lives. Her professional background spans mental health, child welfare, residential and hospital treatment settings, disability services, hospice, family systems, and private practice.

This diverse experience has given her a unique perspective on both the people these systems are intended to serve and the gaps that can leave vulnerable individuals without meaningful support.

Jennifer has a deep passion for social justice and the protection of vulnerable populations, particularly children, older adults, people with disabilities, and victims and survivors of abuse, violence, exploitation, and trauma.

Throughout her career, she has seen how overwhelming it can be for individuals and families to navigate complicated systems while simultaneously experiencing trauma, financial hardship, fear, or major life transitions.

She believes access to safety, advocacy, mental health care, legal resources, and compassionate support should not depend on a person’s income, social status, disability, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or ability to navigate a complicated system alone.

That belief became part of the foundation for NJCA.

Jennifer’s vision extends beyond helping individuals survive a crisis. She is committed to creating lasting systemic change throughout the United States, including improving the systems and institutions that profoundly affect children and families.

She is particularly passionate about advancing trauma-informed practices, increasing accountability and transparency, strengthening the voices of children and vulnerable adults, improving access to advocacy and legal support, and promoting meaningful reform within America’s family and court systems.

Through NJCA, Jennifer hopes to help build something that bridges two needs that are too often separated: directly supporting people who need help today while working to change the systems that will affect families tomorrow.

Her work is grounded in a simple principle:

“Every person deserves dignity, safety, a voice, and a meaningful opportunity to be heard.”

For Jennifer, NJCA represents more than an organization. It is the next chapter of a lifelong commitment to helping people and a commitment to building systems that protect, rather than further harm, those who turn to them for help.

Alex “Anil” George is an Indian American entrepreneur, construction executive, advocate, and father who brings more than three decades of business experience and a deep commitment to social justice, equality, and institutional accountability to the National Justice & Care Alliance.

Born in Kerala, India, Anil immigrated to the United States as a child and was raised in Omaha, Nebraska. He attended Creighton Preparatory School and later studied at the University of Nebraska.

His experiences as a first-generation immigrant shaped his belief in hard work, education, personal responsibility, and the importance of ensuring that society’s institutions treat every person with dignity and fairness.

Anil began his career in the pest-control and home-services industry before expanding into roofing, construction, property improvement, and general contracting. Through his work with Blue Jay Roofing & Construction, he has managed projects and conducted business in Nebraska and Texas.

After relocating to Texas, Anil faced serious health challenges that ultimately required him to reduce his professional activities. Navigating those experiences strengthened his commitment to disability access, patient advocacy, and protecting the rights of individuals seeking to participate meaningfully in legal and governmental proceedings.

Years of litigation, independent research, and experience as a self-represented litigant have also given Anil practical insight into court procedures, evidentiary records, appellate decisions, disability accommodations, parental rights, and professional accountability.

Although he does not present himself as an attorney, he approaches complex legal and institutional issues as a determined citizen who believes that courts, professionals, and public systems must remain accountable to the people they serve.

As a father of six, Anil is especially proud of his children and their educational accomplishments.

His interests also include art, history, politics, public policy, automotive restoration, and the creative use of artificial intelligence.

Anil’s story is one of perseverance and reinvention. As an immigrant, entrepreneur, father, advocate, and survivor of life-threatening illness, he brings curiosity, resilience, independence, and a strong sense of justice to NJCA’s work.

He is passionate about advancing equality, defending individual dignity, and helping create systems in which every person — regardless of background, health, disability, or financial circumstances — has a meaningful opportunity to be heard.
