Family Court Reform Advocate Teresa Sneed to Lead Critical Discussion on Systemic Justice Issues

The family court system's effectiveness in delivering justice versus causing harm will be the central focus of an upcoming virtual discussion led by Teresa Sneed, Founder and CEO of National Family Justice. The event, hosted by the Truth and Democracy Coalition, will critically examine how family courts impact children, parents, and constitutional rights, addressing systemic failures that perpetuate coercion, alienation, and legal abuse.

Sneed, a nationally recognized leader in trauma-informed, data-driven reform, brings extensive experience in legislative advocacy and legal reform. She authored Lance's Law, a landmark bill advancing protections for veterans and service members who are survivors of domestic violence. Her expertise positions her to lead meaningful dialogue about ensuring justice and fairness in family courts while identifying what protections children and parents truly need.

The discussion will explore real reforms being pursued nationwide and how advocates can support these initiatives. National Family Justice plays a pivotal role in the movement to transform family courts, filing amicus briefs in critical parental rights cases, providing resources to families in crisis, and collaborating with reform initiatives across the country. The organization's work underscores the urgent need for systemic change in how family legal matters are handled.

This event represents a significant opportunity for advocates, parents, legal professionals, and community members to engage with critical issues affecting family justice. The virtual format through Zoom ensures broad accessibility for participants interested in understanding and addressing the challenges within the family court system. The Truth and Democracy Coalition, which works to defend democracy and advance justice through education and advocacy, provides the platform for this important conversation about building a legal system rooted in justice, fairness, and constitutional protections.
