Rev. Melissa Mummert is the Minister of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Catawba Valley and a founding member of Reentry Housing Alliance. She is the director of two documentary films about the impact of incarceration on families and has created multiple programs serving incarcerated people and their children.

Rev. Mummert found her calling to work in prison ministry 20 years ago while still in seminary, and has never stopped doing what she can to disrupt mass incarceration. She will share some of what she has learned (mostly from making mistakes) about how to skillfully engage in sustainable, and even joyful, anti-racist justice work​.​
