LaTonya “T.” Myers, Activist and Bail Navigator, Defender Association
Formerly incarcerated person-turned-activist and the first-ever Bail Navigator for the Defender Association of Philadelphia, a position to help those arrested navigate the bail review system.
Prior to joining the Defender Association, Myers’s life was upended while she sat in jail saddled with a $1,500 bail that she couldn’t afford to pay. She’d been in and out of the system for much of her life, but the issue of unaffordable bail and pretrial incarceration turned her onto activism.
Gave out what she called the Probation Awards, a ceremony recognizing people “doing their best to do good, but living under constant threat of incarceration.”
