New York families deserve policies rooted in equity, support, and empowerment. On March 4, CFR will join parents and advocates in Albany to support four essential state bills: the Family Miranda Bill, the Maternal Health, Dignity & Consent Bill, the Anti-Harassment in Reporting Bill, and the Preserving Family Bonds Act.

Join us for “The Protective Power of Cash: A Virtual Teach-In on Cash Assistance” on Monday, March 3 from 1-2:30 PM. CFR’s Executive Director Tehra Coles will speak on how cash assistance supports family well-being and reduces family policing system involvement.

Join the Narrowing the Front Door Workgroup and other guests for a thoughtful discussion on the evolution and impact of the family policing system. CFR’s Executive Director Tehra Coles will moderate.

The Center for Family Representation's 2024 Gala will be held on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at Edison Ballroom. CFR’s gala is the organization’s largest fundraising event of the year and is typically attended by more than 350 guests from across the sector, including prominent law firms and leaders in New York’s civic and business community, all of whom are dedicated to improving outcomes for the city’s most vulnerable families.

This training will provide information about the legislation's four major changes to the SCR and how the changes impact families and communities. It will also provide information about the process for sealing and amending your record in the SCR. This training will be hosted by Rise and facilitated by Melissa Lombreglia, CFR Senior Staff Attorney Advocate.

Join Black Families Love and Unite and partners for “Families Belong Together, Families Demand Repair,” a convening on reparations for people impacted by family policing. This space will bring together dozens of lived experts to share stories, build power, and demand reparative justice.
