Lisa J. Pino
Office For Civil Rights Director
SUMMARY: Lisa J. Pino is an attorney advocate who has held several roles working to advance immigrant rights, food security, and public health. Pino previously worked for the Obama-Biden administration and on the Biden-Harris Transition team. As of October 2021, Equity Forward did not find sufficient evidence to categorize Pino as a supporter of reproductive rights and LGBTQIA+ equity, although her past roles lead us to believe she is aligned with Equity Forward’s priorities. In her new role, Pino will lead an office charged with investigating religious refusals to LGBTQIA+ healthcare, abortion care, and contraceptive coverage. Equity Forward will closely monitor Pino and update her profile as necessary.
On September 27, 2021, HHS Announced Lisa J. Pino As Director For The Office For Civil Rights
