Ashley Huber
Ashley Huber (formerly, Chlebek) works at the intersection of victim advocacy, criminal justice reform, and community collaboration. Her work focuses on supporting victims of crime while addressing systemic barriers that often limit access to justice, safety, and meaningful participation in legal processes. Through her advocacy and community engagement, Ashley works to ensure survivors have clear information about their rights and access to resources as they navigate complex criminal and civil legal systems.
Throughout her career, Ashley has been involved in initiatives that strengthen transparency, accountability, and collaboration within the criminal justice system. She co-facilitates the Kalamazoo County Domestic Violence Coordinated Community Response Team (DVCCRT), an interdisciplinary partnership that brings together community organizations and justice system stakeholders to improve responses to intimate partner violence and enhance survivor safety. Ashley also contributes to community oversight and transparency efforts as Treasurer of Advocates and Leaders for Police Accountability and Community Trust (ALPACT) and as a member of both the Citizens Public Safety Review and Appeal Board and the Kalamazoo County Open Data Citizens Advisory Board.
Ashley holds a Master of Arts in Sociology from Western Michigan University, where her academic work examines criminal justice systems, victimization, and community responses to violence. Her previous work has also included research and investigative efforts aimed at examining wrongful convictions and unresolved criminal cases. She previously worked with the WMU-Cooley Innocence Project and the Western Michigan University Wrongful Conviction Program, initiatives focused on reviewing claims of wrongful conviction and supporting student engagement in justice reform efforts. She also served as Program Coordinator for the Western Michigan University Cold Case Project, which partners with the Michigan State Police to reexamine unsolved cases in Michigan through collaborative research and investigation.
Ashley is committed to advancing transparency and accountability within the criminal justice system and believes that informed communities are essential to meaningful reform. Her work with Campaign for Criminal Justice Transparency reflects her dedication to creating spaces for dialogue, improving access to public information, and supporting efforts that strengthen trust between communities and the institutions that serve them.
