James Lesane’s bail was set at $10K. But, unable to afford it, he was cycled through the
#CJsystem—facing violence, separation from family, & blocked access to vital services. If NYS supports fairness for all of us, we need to give#BailReform a chance: http://bit.ly/3b8i8S3 pic.twitter.com/AYZAl7q5S1

Don’t be!

This
#CJSystem has got to do better! “In 1985, Michael, at 24, robbed a grocery store, stealing $147. No one was physically hurt. He turns 60 this year” and is still incarcerated. This is a waste of tax dollars and Michael’s life. -

@kendrick38: It’s somehow radical to say that our#CJsystem targets people of color, indigenous people, and other marginalized communities...It’s not broken, it’s working exactly how it was intended. He’s right. Our#CJsystem is deeply rooted in racism.#BestOfJusticeReformpic.twitter.com/tIObqSXiJB
