"The fight to protect bail reform is above all a fight to protect the rights and safety of all New Yorkers." - @carlken

The New York Legislature must stand strong against Governor Hochul's bail changes that will jail even more Black, brown & low-income NYers.

[Center for Community Alternatives @CCA_NY]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: @GovKathyHochul has decided to delay the budget due to her hunger to incarcerate more Black, brown + low-income NYers. We urge our legislative leaders to reject the Governor's ill-conceived + dangerous proposal to weaken NY’s bail reform laws.

2.3 million NYers face perpetual punishment due to old conviction records. This is our abolitionist moment. We must end perpetual punishment and pass the Clean Slate Act, because #CleanSlateCantWait. @cleanslateny @CCA_NY @LegalAidNYC

Earlier this week, we issued a statement that did not adequately convey our outrage at the Mayor’s plan to address the local mental health crisis.

CLEAN SLATE CAN'T WAIT. That's why we're rallying in six cities across New York to demand #CleanSlateNY is passed on Day 1 of the legislative session. It's time to end perpetual punishment and allow all New Yorkers to access the jobs and housing we need to thrive.

We want to be clear: forcibly removing people from the streets and confining them in hospitals against their will is policing and incarceration by another name.
