​Rebekah D. Mason is a Mexican American, poverty advocate, playwright, performer, and writer, weaving together a lifelong commitment to systemic change, community care, and renewed sense of entitlement and excitement for radical joy. With over 21 years of experience spanning legal aid, policy reform, organizing, and storytelling, Rebekah is driven by a deep belief in equitable access to healthcare, housing, dignity, and liberation for historically marginalized communities.​ Rebekah actively works to unlearn the lies of white supremacy, fatphobia, ableism, and diet culture. She writes, performs, and creates radical art that invites honest reflection and collective liberation.  She believes community storytelling is the path toward joyful resistance and liberation. She created Justice Through Joy with this in mind.

Community Storytelling

Creative Works & Artistic Influences

 

Rebekah’s advocacy goes beyond traditional and legal systems — she is also a passionate theater artist, informed by the work of the Tectonic Theater Project, Teatro Campesino, Theatre of the Oppressed, and inspired by artists like Jessica Blank, Erik Jensen, Mary Kathryn Nagle, Octavio Solis, Brian Quijada, and Nygel D. Robinson. Her love of theater is rooted in a belief that storytelling serves communities and fuels transformation.

Legal Advocate

A seasoned former legal aid attorney, Rebekah has fought for justice alongside low-income communities, veterans, older adults, and those excluded from full participation in society. Her legal work includes launching and coordinating veterans advocacy projects in both Texas (Lone Star Legal Aid) and Washington, D.C., (Legal Counsel for the Elderly) helping older adults and veterans and their families access the benefits and care they deserve.

Education

Rebekah holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Theatre from the University of Houston and a J.D. from Thomas M. Cooley Law School.

Policy Advocate

Rebekah champions the rights of older adults as the Government Affairs Director with AARP’s Family Health & Caregiving team, advancing policy for affordable, quality long-term care. She also contributes to the Einstein Option and Culture Change movement, working to transform the long-term care systems in this nation by aiming to uplift 100 Connected Communities.

 Family Joy

​Originally from Texas, Rebekah lives in Baltimore, Maryland with her loving partner and their three cats and two dogs, sharing one joyful, love-filled, wonderfully chaotic home. Rebekah is dedicated to building a more just, accessible, and loving world.

​Body Liberation & Later in Life Queer

Raised Catholic and proudly embracing her queer identity later in life, Rebekah’s journey also includes recovery, healing, and self-liberation from systems of oppression. Rebekah is an endometrial cancer survivor and is recovering from binge eating disorder in the most liberatory manner possible.
