For-profit cash bail only exists in the US and Philippines…

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Did you know that the for-profit cash bail system exists only in the U.S. and the Philippines? Did you know that 500,000 human beings are in jail cells right now separated from their families before being convicted of anything, most of them solely because they can pay cash?

[Bring Chicago Home @BringChiHome]

Last week, we took over the 1st floor of City Hall; demanded more resources to provide housing and services to over 65,000 Chicagoans experiencing homelessness. Sign up for our next 101 session on 10/26 via Zoom to learn what YOU can do for #Chicago! https://t.co/oJyQSVWkQs

Where can I purchase piñatas in the shape of the LA city council members who have yet to resign?

The more I learn about these models of civilian response through our work with @LocalProgress the more I’m convinced of how possible and beneficial and urgent they are for our communities.

[Kamau Franklin @kamaufranklin]

Today George Floyd would have been 49 years old. His murder by a cop inspired an international uprising against police terror, that is still unresolved and still occurring in our community. Rest in Power

[Illinois Network for Pretrial Justice @endmoneybond]

The Illinois State's Attorneys Association isn't just trying to gut the Pretrial Fairness Act, they're grasping for even more power to jail more Black people.

It’s called Treatment Not Trauma, T. It’s a crisis response that could dispatch mental health professionals with an EMT to mental health crisis calls — instead of armed police officers.

[Local Progress @LocalProgress]

.@PDXStResponse is one of two community responder programs nationwide run directly by city staff.

In its first year of operation, zero calls resulted in arrest and 89% of calls did not require further help from the police or fire department.

when you have "unparalleled experience" in chicago city politics, but don't know which departments are responsible for sidewalk repairs or tree trimming

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

THREAD. The recent New York Times article on cop television shows furthers a frightening ignorance in liberal circles about "community policing." It's important to understand why the NYT article is so dangerous.

[Rossana Rodriguez 🌹🇵🇷✊🏽🏳️‍🌈 @RossanaFor33]

So many people across the country working hard to transform the way we think about how to keep people safe. Specially out most vulnerable. Grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn about how this work is being done in as many places as possible!

[jackfruited bug @PotatoesOGrady]

Probably because those budgets are the product of the types of politics and politicians that are propping him up - your George Cardneas and Lori Lightfoot, your Dick Mell and Iris Martinez. So what else to do but lie and say that YOUR calls and e-mails will magically do the trick

[jackfruited bug @PotatoesOGrady]

Really gives the game away here. He fully admits that a ward office cannot do work like tree trimming and pothole repair itself, and that all he’d actually do is send some emails. No plan to address the actual issue - austerity budgets underfunding and understaffing city services
