Community engagement is a way of life for our #JusticeBus fellow, Zoe.

#EmployeeSpotlight #Community #Outreach
Employee spotlight - Zoe Raglow-DeFranco, Justice Bus Fellow and Attorney. Headshot of Zoe on blue background. Zoe’s career trajectory: I have both an MSW and a JD. I started as a social worker but realized that many of my clients were facing barriers due to legal issues, so I wanted to go into civil rights legal work. My position at NLS is a great way to combine my interests and skills. Because I’m out in the community, I do a lot of social work along with my legal work. The Justice Bus puts me in a unique position to practice law AND be out in the community. Bringing justice to the community: Being out in the community, meeting all sorts of different collaborators, organizations, leaders, and, of course, the public, is my favorite part of my job. It’s a good way to keep a finger on the pulse of pressing legal needs of individuals. Otherwise, we’d only see clients in court, or if they called us. Challenges: Our biggest challenge is technology deserts in rural areas. Batavia and Orleans, in particular, have large elderly populations with limited access to cell phones or computers. So we can’t send forms to them electronically, can’t always call. It’s important to schedule regular times to go out there. Resources: Resource finding is our biggest request. People don’t always know where to even start with a problem, and they may not even be legal problems. Our mission is to help people help themselves. If it’s a service we don’t offer, we always have a big packet of flyers to help locate someone who does. Roadtrip Playlist Must-Haves: Davewin and I are always arguing about this. He says my music is too depressing. I love the National, the Killers, things like that. In the bus, we listen to a lot of 70s and 80s soul-pop music. Davewin loves Amy Winehouse. Image of the National bandmembers. Bucketlist travel destination: Thailand! I was a yoga instructor for a while and they have some interesting techniques I’d love to learn. Plus the food. And I’ve heard it’s pretty affordable, once you get there. Scenic image of boats on the water in Thailand.
