In Sept 2019, @Marci4MKE introduced a resolution calling on Congress to repeal & replace the 1994 Crime Bill, which fueled mass criminalization & incarceration.
The resolution laid the groundwork for a federal resolution by @AyannaPressley in Nov 2019.https://theappeal.org/rep-ayanna-pressley-unveils-sweeping-plan-to-reshape-american-criminal-legal-system/ …
Tomorrow, #MKE County Board of Supervisors will take up the resolution.
