Jana currently serves on the Steering Committee of Transparency International—U.S and the board of the Fund for Constitutional Government. In her most recent role as the Director of the 250+ member coalition, Declaration for American Democracy, Jana led a nationwide US campaign to pass sweeping democracy reform legislation that would protect and expand the right to vote, get big money out of politics, end gerrymandering, and stop election subversion. Through her leadership, this legislation saw passage through the House of Representatives, as well as debate and floor votes in the Senate.

She also spearheaded the launch of Protect the Protest, a coalition aimed at stopping frivolous corporate lawsuits against activists.

Prior to that, Jana worked at Global Witness, conducting advocacy and in-country field research on Afghanistan’s extractive sector, conflict minerals exploitation in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, and the development of governance systems for Uganda’s emerging oil sector. 

She has also served on the board of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and the Publish What You Pay Global Council representing North America and Europe. Jana holds an MA in International Relations from the Maxwell School of Syracuse University and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Conflict Resolution.
