Bob is joined by justice warrior Heather Lewis. Heather is the Executive Director of the Reuniting Family Bail Fund in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. She has a master's degree in Human Services and has worked with vulnerable individuals and families in the Philadelphia-area community for nearly two decades. She is also a practitioner of Participatory Defense and serves as a national trainer teaching the model around the country. The Reuniting Family Bail Fund grew out of efforts to challenge what organizers viewed as unconstitutional bail practices in Montgomery County and has roots in the participatory defense movement started by the community organization De-Bug in San Jose, California. The Montgomery County hub was the first participatory defense hub established outside California.
