Mass Bail Action

#MassBailOut is a call to action that poverty is not a crime. Follow us as we work to free women and children from #Rikers

A well-deserved win last night at the @holmesreport 2019 Sabre Award for Best Public Affairs Campaign for #MassBailOut! Congratulations to @TeamKivvit & @RFKHumanRights for receiving this incredible honor!

This is a daily reminder that creating hierarchies of worth around who 'deserves' to be incarcerated is a strategy rooted in damaging conceptions of criminality w/ direct links to our country's legacy of racism, white supremacy, & the assumed guilt of people of color.

Consider celebrating Mother’s Day by supporting this incredible cause!

Last October, our YL Program joined forces with local #CJReform efforts to create the largest domestic @MassBailOut. @KeeganMKey, @TaySchilling, @common, and more supported our efforts to show NYC officials that caging human beings before their trial date is unacceptable. (1/2)

Michele Benjamin was just 16 when she was condemned to die in prison for an act of self-defense. Today, the CJ system may give her another chance at life. Our nation punishes victims and criminalizes black women & girls. This must end. #CJReform theappeal.org/sentenced-to-l…

MDC Brooklyn legal visits have been cancelled for the rest of the day because of what BOP says is a "credible threat" #MDCBrooklyn

This is cruel and unusual punishment perpetrated against people merely because they don’t have the financial resources to pay for their freedom. #CJReform nytimes.com/2019/02/02/nyr…

We stand with the calls of the defense community and the @nytimes Editorial Board for NYS to #RepealTheBlindfold and reform outmoded criminal discovery laws. It's past time to inject basic fairness into the criminal justice system. nytimes.com/2019/01/15/opi…

On my flight to DC this morning wondering how many passengers taking off from LGA look down and shudder when they think of the thousands of children, mothers and fathers caged on Rikers? Not because they're guilty, but because they can't make bail. #CloseRikersNow #MassBailOut

Gov. Bill Haslam grants full clemency to Cyntoia Brown. She will be released from prison on August 7, 2019. "Imposing a life sentence on a juvenile ... is too harsh, especially in light of the extraordinary steps Ms. Brown has taken to rebuild her life." tennessean.com/story/news/201…

In California, under the current law, sentences for many felonies can be “enhanced” with additional prison time if the person committing the crime is classified as a gang member, for example, or has other felony convictions on his record. @kendrick38 #MassBailOut
