Robin Steinberg is the founder and CEO of The Bail Project, an unprecedented national effort to combat mass incarceration in America by reshaping the pretrial justice system. The organization manages a national revolving bail fund designed to provide bail assistance and pretrial support at scale while collecting data and stories to demonstrate the viability of a more humane, equitable, and cost-effective alternative to cash bail. Since launching through The Audacious Project in 2018, it has opened sites in nine high-need jurisdictions -- from Louisville, Ky., to Compton, Calif. -- securing freedom for thousands of people and forging local partnerships to advance lasting systemic change. Over a 35-year career as a public defender, Robin represented thousands of low-income people in over-policed neighborhoods and founded three high-impact organizations: The Bronx Defenders, Still She Rises, and The Bronx Freedom Fund. Robin is a Gilbert Foundation Senior Fellow of the Criminal Justice Program at UCLA School of Law.
