Kathy Boudin (May 19, 1943 – May 1, 2022) was an American radical leftist who served 23 years in prison for felony murder for her role in the 1981 Brink's robbery. Boudin was a founding member of the Weather Underground organization, which engaged in bombings of government buildings to express opposition to U.S. foreign policy and racism. The Brink's robbery, in which Boudin acted as a decoy, resulted in the killing of two Nyack, New York police officers and one security guard along with serious injury to another security guard. Boudin was arrested attempting to flee the scene after the getaway vehicle was stopped by police. She pleaded guilty to felony murder and robbery in 1984 in exchange for an agreed-upon sentence of 20 years to life in prison; in 2003, she was released from prison on parole. Boudin earned an EdD from Columbia University Teachers College in 2007. She later became an adjunct professor at Columbia University School of Social Work, where she served as the co-founder and co-director of the Center for Justice.
