Our Series on Judicial Reform Continues
Join the conversation on February 26, 2024
7:30 to 9:00 PM EST
For our second conversation in our series on judicial reform, the Coalition for Justice welcomes Heather Lewis, MHS. She is the Director and Founder of the Reuniting Family Bail Fund (RFBF). As a nonprofit professional with a master’s degree in human services, Heather Lewis has been committed to the needs of vulnerable individuals and families in Montgomery County PA for nearly 20 years. Heather is the Founder and Executive Director of the Reuniting Family Bail Fund. The RFBF, along with a team of Court Watchers and Participatory Defense practitioners, has helped hundreds of families navigate the criminal legal system; challenge illegal bail practices and engage the community in sharing of their collective knowledge.
Through extensive relationships with partners, community events, holiday support and pop-up community meals, the RFBF continues to engage the community. The RFBF has introduced a live bi-weekly podcast, quarterly newsletter, social media strategy and educational initiatives to support and empowers families with knowledge of the legal system’s history. A history that is designed to shame, isolate, and abuse those that enter it, particularly people of color. Heather’s role is to remind people that there is power in numbers; there is power in knowledge and there is power in love. The Power to connect to a community of like spirited and experienced people to stand in solidarity.
