@JayDubWard Great article! One correction: the property acquired is the “Japanese American Service Committee” (not “Service Center”) which has an important history dating back to 1946! https://t.co/D5habGbaDa @myJASC

Today, State’s Attorneys suing over the Pretrial Fairness Act filed a brief with the Illinois Supreme Court. This latest filing rehashes the same bad-faith arguments against adopting and implementing the Pretrial Fairness Act and eliminating money bond.

The trial court has sided with 58 State’s Attorneys suing over the Pretrial Fairness Act. The court did not issue an injunction and the law still take effect on January 1st.

After nearly two full years of intense struggle by communities across Illinois, we have successfully defended the Pretrial Fairness Act from being rolled back or repealed!

Everytime there is progress in the US, white supremacists push back. That's what is happening with opposition to the Pretrial Fairness Act.

State's Attorneys @jameswglasgow @BobBerlin_SA SB4228 will further destroy communities that struggle to have any kind of safety net @lilly_wachowski #EndMoneyBail #PretrialFairnessAct @IndivisibleSJA

Most families in the US don't have money on hand for an emergency.

Karl @EatOrgChicago explains how an unaffordable bond can quickly cause a families lives to fall apart. This is why we need the Pretrial Fairness Act.

Still fighting! State's Attorneys @jameswglasgow @BobBerlin_SA We won't go back! @lilly_wachowski #EndMoneyBail #PretrialFairnessAct @IndivisibleSJA @AAAJ_Chicago

We are at the Will County Courthouse protesting State's Attorney @jameswglasgow. Over the last few months, he has tried to stir up fear and racism by telling blatant lies about the Pretrial Fairness Act.

This "WFCN" disinformation ad from Southern Illinois was making the rounds on my neighborhood NextDoor in Chicago. Here's a good breakdown on the falsehoods. @RepKellyCassidy @SenMikeSimmons @48Ward @BridgetGainer @indivisible9IL @IndivisibleIL @AAAJ_Chicago @SOULInChicago

It blows my mind how many smart, successful people share viral memes with fake news in them. Here's one of the recent ones from "Mike the Cop" on Instagram, apparently copied from "WFCN News," which is an internet blog claiming to be a news site. Let's take a look:

cash bail is a flawed system that victimizes whole communities by holding the wrong people #endmoneybond #SafeTAct @RepChrisWelch @shevotesil @DonHarmonIL @IndivChi_South @AAAJ_Chicago @indivisible9IL

[SOUL @SOULInChicago]

Just 2-3 days in jail can destabilize someone’s life..
People who are jailed for 3 days or more pretrial are 40% more likely to report housing instability in the year after they are jailed. #endmoneybond #SafeTAct

[lori ashikawa @loriashikawa]

Thank you to the canvassers and to the people on the street who understand that ending cash bail makes us all safer! @CAARPR @IndivChi_South @SOUL @endmoneybond

[Andrea Chu @andreachu190]

Today I went canvassing to get folks to send a letter to their legislator about supporting the Pretrial Fairness Act, which was passed in 2021 ending the practice of cash bail in IL. We’re doing this because reps are getting inundated w/ backlash & might roll the PFA back. (1/x)

[lori ashikawa @loriashikawa]

The Pretrial Fairness Act will make Chicago safer! Mass incarceration hurts everyone! @CAARPRNow @SOUL @IndivisibleSJA @IndivisibleIL9 @IndivChi_South

[Chicago Torture Justice Center @chitorture]

The abolishment of cash bail in the Pretrial Fairness Act ensures that wealth isn't a barrier between freedom and incarceration. Let's keep the Pretrial Fairness Act from being gutted!

[lori ashikawa @loriashikawa]

@endmoneybond @RepChrisWelch Thank you for telling the truth @RepChrisWelch ! @IndivisibleSJA @IndivisibleOP @IndivisibleIL @CAARPRNow @shevotesil @indivisible9IL @SOUL @SenMikeSimmons @RepKellyCassidy @ShiaKapos

[lori ashikawa @loriashikawa]

@SenTharp I support the Pretrial Fairness Act ending cash bail!
Many people who are not a threat to community are held unnecessarily in jail waiting for a trial because they can’t afford to pay bail. The Pretrial Fairness Act would actually ensure more robust hearings before judges.
