Tomorrow, many of Illinois’ largest counties will implement the Pretrial Fairness Act and #EndMoneyBail.
We are calling on the Illinois Supreme Court to act quickly to clarify that the law is constitutional and must be applied consistently across the entire state.
Here's just a few of #ColorOfChange's recent wins:
➡️ Pinterest, The Knot & Zola: Drop Plantation Weddings: Pressured some of the country’s major wedding aggregate sites to commit to no longer featuring vendors who offer plantations as wedding/party venues
➡️ PG County: #EndMoneyBail: The State’s Attorney for Prince George’s County, Aisha Braveboy, stopped requesting money bail for people awaiting trial

CPD is exploiting tragic shootings to deny thousands of people their constitutional rights & demand punishment without convictions. Only .6% of the >30,000 people released since bond reform were arrested on a new charge considered "violent." https://www.wbez.org/shows/morning-shift/cpd-and-lawyers-group-disagree-on-bond-reform-violence/75968259-7125-4312-aefa-fb5f5cff7da3 #EndMoneyBail

Today marks four years since the death of Kalief Browder. Kalief spent more than one thousand days incarcerated pretrial as a teenager. The trauma he experienced while in Rikers was a major cause of his later suicide.
Let's honor Kalief's life & #EndMoneyBail.

Bond reform is making our city safer by protecting the presumption of innocence and keeping people connected to their jobs, housing & communities.
Today, we used facts to refute CPD's false narratives about gun violence & bond reform. https://www.wbez.org/shows/morning-shift/cpd-and-lawyers-group-disagree-on-bond-reform-violence/75968259-7125-4312-aefa-fb5f5cff7da3 #EndMoneyBail

Crime is down in Chicago, and bond reform has been an overwhelming success. Violence is always a tragedy, and effective interventions should focus on investment in the communities most harmed, not further spending in police and prosecution.| #EndMoneyBail

The Chicago Police Department can manufacture any self-serving narratives they want, but data shows that fewer than half of one percent of the tens of thousands of people released pretrial are arrested on a new charge considered violent. | #EndMoneyBail https://twitter.com/AJGuglielmi/status/1135309970138755072

"Violent crime, jail population down 16% in first year of bail reform: report"
Money bond & pretrial incarceration aren't part of real community safety. People succeed when given the chance.
