Money bond punishes people who are awaiting trial for being poor. Access to money shouldn’t determine whether someone is jailed or free while awaiting trial.
The Illinois legislature should pass the Pretrial Fairness Act to #EndMoneyBail#PretrialFairnessNow
We support the Pretrial Fairness Act to #endmoneybail and eliminate poverty as a reason for people to be held in jail. Join us. https://t.co/BK9FwZg1Xu #PretrialFairnessNow#il14
Every year, more than a quarter of a million people are incarcerated while awaiting trial in Illinois. Most of them are jailed only because they can't afford to pay a money bond.

🚨ALL HANDS ON DECK!!🚨
At the end of this week, the Illinois legislature will be meeting for the first time in months.
Now more than ever, we need you to tell them that Illinois wants to pass the Pretrial Fairness Act & #EndMoneyBail: https://t.co/xl2DRFJy0D
The past eight months, we’ve been working to lower healthcare costs, protect our veterans and fight climate change.
I’m fighting in Congress for these and so many more. And I’m running for re-election - will you chip in to our campaign tonight?

We also recognize the adoption of the 19th Amendment achieved the right to vote for some women, not all. Women of color, who waited, advocated and fought for our right to vote wasn’t fully adopted until 1965. I honor and am committed to continuing this fight. #EqualityCantWait
Women were not given or granted the right to vote. Women have starved for the vote. Women have been beaten and imprisoned for the right to vote. Women have fought and died for the right to vote. #WomensEqualityDay#EqualityCantWait
Women in Chicago (and all over the country, for that matter) deserve to be paid equally as their male counterparts. We have to keep pushing for #EqualPay
