Introducing CFR's 2026 Annual Benefit "Champion for Family Justice" Honoree - Angela Burton

Angela Olivia Burton is a community lawyer, scholar, and public servant with over thirty years of experience advocating for the rights of parents and children in the family policing system. Led by the experience, wisdom, and priorities of people directly impacted, Angela fights tirelessly to protect the human, constitutional, and civil rights of families targeted by the system, and advocates for policies that shrink the reach of family policing and support family wellbeing.
CFR's Annual Benefit is our most significant annual fundraising event, providing the critical funds and awareness we rely on to advance our unique, holistic model with the mission of keeping families together!
In the face of growing challenges and uncertainty, CFR's mission has never been more critical. The families we serve-low-income Black and Brown parents and youth, immigrants, and those navigating systemic barriers-are disproportionately at risk of separation and instability.
