We are all vulnerable to this crisis.

People behind bars are particularly vulnerable.

And yet you continue to push #bailreform rollbacks to incarcerate TENS OF THOUSANDS more NYers BEFORE TRIAL during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC through a SECRET bill.

Despicable.

🚨BREAKING🚨@NYGovCuomo & @AndreaSCousins are trying to pass a secret law to jail TENS OF THOUSANDS of New Yorkers pretrial. I join 200+ organizations & 40 legislators trying to stop this. I call on my reps @SenKevinThomas @JohnMikulin to reject this shameful move & vote NO!

Region 9A of the UAW’s statement on bail roll backs. Bail reform is one of the most significant civil rights gains in New York’s history. It is insulting and undemocratic for the legislature to roll back bail reform with a bill no one has seen in the middle of the night

🚨BREAKING 🚨@NYGovCuomo & @AndreaSCousins are trying to pass a secret law to jail TENS OF THOUSANDS of New Yorkers pretrial. 200+ organizations & 40 legislators have declared this unacceptable, including Speaker @CarlHeastie. New Yorkers are with you, Mr. Speaker. Stay strong!
