#3 Robin Steinberg
In 2015, The Bronx Freedom Fund began a substantial expansion, raising additional funds, hiring new bail associates and significantly increasing its capacity, including expanding operations into other boroughs. Currently, the Freedom Fund is on track to bail out over 1,000 people per year. Also in 2015, the organization was awarded the National Criminal Justice Association's Outstanding Criminal Justice Program Award for the Northeast Region.[9]

In November of 2017, the Bronx Freedom Fund expanded again, re-launching as The Bail Project with the aim of establishing 40 bail funds across the nation to free over 150,000 people. [10]

Robin Steinberg is an American lawyer, social justice advocate[1] and leader in the field of holistic public defense.[2]

Steinberg is the CEO of The Bail Project,[3] a national organization modeled after The Bronx Freedom Fund,[4] which she co-founded with her husband David Feige in 2007.[5] Steinberg is the founder and former executive director of The Bronx Defenders, a community-based public defense office serving low-income New Yorkers in the Bronx since 1997,[6] and the director of Still She Rises, Tulsa,[7] "the first public defender office in the nation dedicated exclusively to the representation of mothers in the criminal justice system".[8] At The Bronx Defenders, Steinberg created The Center for Holistic Defense,[9] a national program funded by the U.S. Department of Justice that trains public defender offices across the country to replicate The Bronx Defenders’ model of holistic defense.[10]

Steinberg has spoken at TED,[11] and taught at Harvard Law School, Columbia Law School,[12] Seton Hall and UCLA.[13]
