Brian Howe thinks that the genetic lottery (what family and place you were born into) should not dictate your rights or opportunities in life.

Currently, he runs a law firm that serves businesses and organizations specifically conceived and structured to alleviate poverty, better the environment, and further social justice causes. Additionally, he is an adjunct professor in the field of international development and has contributed to publications on human rights protection for immigrants.
