    It's because of that these New Yorkers get to continue to be there for their families, friends, and communities. Here are their stories, via .

  6. Sean struggled with drug use for 30 yrs. Thanks to bail reform, the judge released him after a recent arrest, allowing him to go to rehab. Rather than being incarcerated, he was able to get the treatment he needs. He looks like a completely different man now.

    Piece from earlier this week exposing the white supremacist supported Facebook group under the name Repeal Bail Reform. Trumpian fear-mongering and right wing extremism has no place in New York. No rollbacks on ! 2/2

    Anti-bail reform is under-girded by white supremacy. We need to stand strong against hate. 1/2

    Outside NYPD briefing to tell and to STOP FEAR MONGERING. Stop cherry-picking stats to reinforce a racist, classist system. Stop putting the beliefs of law enforcement & moneyed interests over the rights of marginalized New Yorkers.

    For every story pushed by tabloid media about NY bail reform, there are hundreds of people who can resume their lives because they’re not locked up. Their stories aren’t sensational. But they’re essential for our social fabric, and far more representative of the law’s effects.

    Thank you for stepping up and fighting for Ousman Darboe and his family. The fight isn't over, and we'll keep at it until Ousman is finally back home with his wife and young daughter!

    New Yorkers don’t have protections when entering and leaving court, so ICE often pounces there. Let’s pass the and ensure access to courts for all.

    When we take a breath and let bail reform achieve its intended effect of letting people live their lives while presumed innocent, we get great stories like these: folks who remain productive, care for their families, go to work, finish school, etc., all while fighting their case.

    White supremacists enabled by the NY GOP, police, prosecutors, & tabloids peddle fear propaganda about bail reform. Public defenders share actual truth about people benefiting from the modest reforms:

    Max was able to graduate from community college a month ago because he wasn’t incarcerated pre-trial, & is currently pursuing his Bachelor’s degree. He ultimately plans to complete an MBA. Accessing education is hugely impactful in changing the trajectory in one’s life.

    For David, bail reform meant being home to witness the birth of his daughter. Through all the ups & downs of his case, reform meant all the difference for him in getting to hold his new daughter the hospital and being there for his family for a moment they’ll never get back.

    Thanks to these historic reforms, more NYers have been able to remain with their families and community rather than being locked up simply bc they can’t afford their freedom. These are just a couple of their stories (all names have been changed to protect anonymity).
