Riley Hewko (they/them) is a Fellow in the Litmus program of the NYU Marron Institute, collaborating on the Family-Based Justice Center. As a reproductive justice lawyer focusing on race, gender, child welfare, incarceration, and healing, their work centers anti-oppression and creative community lawyering. As an Equal Justice Works Fellow at Legal Voice, Riley worked alongside currently and formerly incarcerated individuals to pass the Children of Incarcerated Parents Bill in 2013, making sweeping changes to Washington State child welfare laws in order to support families facing parental incarceration. In 2014, they co-founded the Incarcerated Parents Project at the Washington Defender Association (WDA) where they focused on leadership and policy development for parents inside prison, developed participatory defense strategies in child welfare cases, and developed training and technical assistance for lawyers, judges, and social workers. At WDA and as a policy analyst with Justice Strategies, they worked to expand access to alternative sentencing programs for incarcerated parents. In 2019, they helped launch a prison oversight agency at the Washington State Governor’s Office as the Gender Equity and Vulnerable Populations Specialist, supporting women, transgender, nonbinary, and intersex individuals and those who identify as LGBTQ+ in Washington State prisons. Riley is a 2011 graduate of the University of Washington School of Law and Gates Public Law Scholar.
