Illinois friends - please consider filing a witness slip this morning in support of the Community Safety through Stable Homes Act, SB 2264, which would restrict the use of harmful "crime-free" housing and nuisance property ordinances in the state! https://t.co/Xw7LdkkilE

[Jenna Prochaska @JennaPro]

These dangerous, and often discriminatory, local laws cause eviction and displacement of tenants based on 911 calls and interaction with the criminal legal system. You can learn more about the need for SB 2264 here: https://t.co/ZDdlNmScz5 @ChgoCivilRights @HousingActionIL

Read @JennaPro on the need to restrict so-called “crime-free” housing and nuisance ordinances, which are unfair to property owners and harm survivors of domestic violence and people with disabilities, as well as exacerbating residential segregation.

[Illinois Network for Pretrial Justice @endmoneybond]

Illinois ending money bond is only possible because of the thousands of everyday people across our state that came together and said "we are not going to tolerate our neighbors being held in cages because they're poor."

Our movement has made history.
