"...people are returning to court for their trials more often now than they were prior to reforms w 15% of the pop. failing to appear in 2019 + only 9% failing to appear in 2021". #BailReform is working!!
"Bail reform was urgently needed to address the criminalization of poverty, and it has done just that." - @MARVINMAYFIELD7@CCA_NY

We are rallying across NY demanding the end of New York's cruel package ban.
"For 21 years, I survived off packages. They were the only way I got fresh produce. And now DOCCS has made that impossible for families," said CCA Director Tammar Cancer.

No he wouldn’t but Lebron would never be in this position bc Lebron isn’t forced to go to a hostile country and play ball in their leagues for extra income. Brittney makes $220K a season, Lebron makes $41M. That’s the real angle that nobody seems to want to discuss.
Let’s be clear: 50 immigrants lost their lives in San Antonio because of a clear failure in leadership at all levels of government. To ensure that tragedies like this never happen again, @POTUS must end #RemainInMexico and #Title42 NOW. via @RAICESTEXAS
.@toddkaminsky Please pass A.98/S.266, The Challenging Wrongful Convictions Act, to help the wrongly convicted who pled guilty get back into court to prove innocence. https://t.co/E8xABzD2QS
Over 50 tenant and housing leaders were arrested at yesterday's rally for #GoodCause.
Massive rent hikes are devastating New Yorkers - pushing eviction rates up 40%. Albany must pass Good Cause in this session and secure protections that tenants need.
As your constituent, @judygriffinny@toddkaminsky, I urge you to support Eliminate Mandatory Minimums (S.7871/A.9166), Second Look (S.7872/A.8894) & Earned Time Act (S.7873/A.8462A). It's time to overhaul NY's racist and unjust sentencing laws. https://t.co/kwTKbX6z2P
Leaving survivors without the resources needed for healing only perpetuates cycles of violence. To take the first step in ending these cycles, NY MUST pass #ParoleJusticeNY & #FairAccesstoVictimCompensation TODAY, prioritizing the needs of survivors! https://t.co/GDUxuAbMq5
@GovKathyHochul is trying to change a 100-year old law that banned private contract labor for incarcerated people. This system is a new form of Jim Crow—it allows private corporations to exploit incarcerated workers. We have a duty to protect the inherent dignity of all people.
As your constituent, @GovKathyHochul@judygriffinny@toddkaminsky, I urge you to follow the facts, not fear. NY's lawmakers must focus on evidence-based programs and repairing our frayed social safety net, not fear-mongering, misinformation and outright lies about bail reform
Mutual aid is a radical act.
It’s not radical because it exposes people to Karl Marx or socialist theory, but because it normalizes cooperation and the value of human beings.
You’re not valuable because of your potential labor, you’re valuable because you’re human.
Tell me again how this isn’t the continuation of slavery. Tell me again how this is different from the Black codes and convict leasing? Corporations and the state getting richer off of a criminalized & caged Black & brown “workforce.”
💥RELEASE: Today, March 1st, 2022 the next phase of the #LessIsMoreNY Act takes effect, bolstering due process & ending automatic detention for noncriminal technical violations. The #LessIsMoreNY Coalition did this! @lov_unity@UnchainedNOW
