Meet Your Division Leader

Justyna Rzewinski, LCSW

Queens Division Director

Justyna Rzewinski is also an educator at John Jay College and Yeshiva University, where she teaches social work and forensic psychology. Her research examines service providers’ knowledge of voting rights for justice-impacted individuals.

She actively organizes voter registration drives and advocates for policy reform in mental health and criminal justice. As the Rikers Island Whistleblower, she courageously exposed inhumane treatment of incarcerated individuals with mental illness, prompting a formal investigation.

Her leadership reflects a deep commitment to equity, social justice, and transforming systems that marginalize vulnerable populations.
