Last night, the legislature passed a budget which includes continued funding for the Pretrial Success Grant Program! IL is going to expand access to mental health & substance use disorder support, transportation, and child care for people awaiting trial! endmoneybond.org/2025/06/01/com…

We are deeply disturbed by Cook County State’s Attorney O’Neill Burke’s new policy requiring her attorneys to object when a judge denies a request for detention & instead orders someone to electronic monitoring. Read our statement here: endmoneybond.org/2025/04/08/sta…

We are only as safe as the most vulnerable among us.

Join us on November 1st ( 10 am, 555 W Monroe) to pressure Gov Pritzker to take action against the horrific and inhumane conditions at Menard Prison—including physical abuse, solitary confinement, and other forms of torture

The Illinois legislature has passed the Pretrial Success Act as part of the state budget! The Pretrial Success Act will begin expanding access to case management, mental healthcare & substance use treatment for people awaiting trial in January! endmoneybond.org/2024/05/29/pre…

.@SJPatUChicago, other students & community supporters move from the rally on Ellis into the @UChicago Quad once again. What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now! What do we want? #DivestmentFromIsrael If we can't get it, shut it down! #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

USPCN here in support of @SJPatUChicago @care_not_cops and other students after the 4:40 AM @UChicago police raid on the #FreePalestine #DivestFromIsrael encampment! They won't let students or anyone else back into the quad. #GazaGenocide #StopGazaGenocide

💥TAKE ACTION💥 Let the Illinois House of Representatives know that our communities want the Pretrial Success Act! It's time for Illinois to invest in support services for people awaiting trial: bit.ly/SlipSuccessAct Even if you filed a slip last week, we need you to again.

We are excited to share our new report, “Investing in Pretrial Justice in Illinois: A Vision for Supporting Communities After the End of Money Bond." Read it here: endmoneybond.org/2024/04/18/inv…

What lil civilian oversight Chicago has is being undermined by CPD & the FOP! The police board should be able to fire the 5 cops who killed Dexter along with Sup Snel but now the courts may be giving cops private arbitration & destroying what lil accountability they have!

Our partners, @SOULInChicago, are leading the work for this @endmoneybond initiative. We’re continuing to fight for reimagined community safety. #monday #safety #chicago #endmoneybond

WATCH: After the City Council meeting today, @chicagosmayor Brandon Johnson made a statement in support of @rossanafor33 & @AldermanLaSpata's ceasefire resolution, recognizing the parallels between Black and Palestinian liberation! #CeasefireNOW #BlackPalestinianSolidarity

Today’s vote on the FOP arbitration decision was postponed and we’re hearing some of the alders who supported us last time may be folding under FOP pressure. So we must IMMEDIATELY begin applying pressure on them to stand up to the FOP.

Last week, our friend & @CAARPRNow comrade, Shasta Jones, passed away in her home. She was only 43. We'll miss her passion, energy & humor, and we offer condolences to both her relatives & Alliance family. May Shasta Rest In Power! Read her story: caarpr.org/statements/hon…

"The Pretrial Fairness Act is already affecting thousands of people and will affect hundreds of thousands more to come,” she said. “It’s hard to put into words how amazing that is.” Briana Payton, @ChiAppleseed dailynorthwestern.com/2024/01/18/cit…
