Read our statement with @LegalAidNYC @BronxDefenders @BklynDefender @QueensDefenders @NeighborhoodDef on the Governor's plan to rollback bail in the budget.
Lawmakers must reject @GovKathyHochul's mass incarceration plan.
Rolling back #BailReform will inevitably jail more Black and brown New Yorkers, separate families, and deepen the systemic racism embedded in the legal system.

STATEMENT: We - and millions of New Yorkers across the state - are dismayed that Clean Slate was left out of this year’s budget despite tremendous statewide support. The ball is now in the Legislature’s court. Pass Clean Slate immediately.

Not passing #CleanSlate in the budget means 2.3M NYers continue to wait to join our economy. The Clean Slate Act has massive support from all corners of NY. @CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins must pass it and @GovKathyHochul must make good on her word to get it done this session.

These days in politics, consensus is hard to find. On criminal justice issues, it’s almost unheard of.
But for the past two years, the #CleanSlate coalition has grown to include voices from every sector, every perspective, every corner of NYS.
It’s unprecedented. 🧵

Bail reform is working. We urge elected leaders to reject these proposals and make investments that will deliver real safety. #NoRollbacks
@fwdus, @CCA_NY, @NYWFP, @citizenactionny, @BronxDefenders, @LegalAidNYC, @verainstitute, & others condemn proposals to criminalize poverty & incarcerate more NYers. We urge elected leaders to reject these proposals/make investments to deliver real safety. fwd.us/news/numerous-organiz…

"Bail reform saved lives. I sat in jail for 11 months on a bail I couldn't afford. But the hardest blow of all was to take a plea deal for something I hadn't done just to end that suffering," @MarvinMayfield7 @CCA_NY – at New York, USA

Approximately 1 in 3 American adults has a criminal record, limiting their access to edu., jobs, & housing. #SecondChanceMonth exists to raise awareness about these barriers & unlock brighter futures for people with a criminal record.
We've added new research and analyses from @dataforjustice, @BrennanCenter, @Arnold_Ventures, etc. to our fact-checking page about bail reform.
