"This work is a gift and a curse. The gift is helping people feel a little more hopeful about their possibilities. The curse is living in a perpetual narrative of pain." #endhumancaging bit.ly/2vd1gci

So far, the number of people the @NashBailFund has been able to bail out has dropped by 60%. If this policy remains, NCBF will soon be unable to operate. We are seeking a preliminary injunction to stop the enforcement of the rule immediately. #endmoneybail (3/3)

This is the unconstitutional rule: to post money for a person’s release from jail, the paying party must allow that money to be used as payment for any future court-imposed debts. If the party doesn’t agree to the rule then cash bond cannot be posted at all. #endmoneybail (2/3)

NEW CASE: Alongside our partners at @ACLUTN, @ACLU, and @CJINashville, we have filed a lawsuit against Davidson County over a policy that uses cash bonds to pay future #finesandfees assessed by the courts on behalf of the @NashBailFund. #endmoneybail (1/3) pic.twitter.com/b9viUvnoY9

Our friend @dwaynebetts-- who partnered with our organization to create the "Redacted" exhibit at MoMA PS1 earlier this year-- recently spoke with @amanpourcopbs about his new book "Felon" and life after prison. #endhumancaging to.pbs.org/38Byj8j

"Two weeks after Chesa Boudin took the oath of office as San Francisco’s newest district attorney, the city’s top prosecutor announced Wednesday that his office will no longer ask for cash bail as a condition for defendants’ pretrial release" #endmoneybail bit.ly/2NR4okL

MUST READ: Judge Harry Cantrell continues to impose money bail on those who appear in his New Orleans' court without considering alternatives or inquiring about their ability to pay. His actions are unconstitutional. #endmoneybail bit.ly/2RUNJOh

In New York City, probation offices are focused on community investment rather than recidivism reduction. Their approach highlights a new strategy that could be implemented in communities across the country. #probationreform bit.ly/2Nn4Yqi

"After reading reactionary, knee-jerk responses from nominally liberal outlets like the Washington Post and the Daily News, one is left to wonder if American media is truly interested in having a sober, fair debate about real reform" #endmoneybail bit.ly/2TkKl1J

In far too many states, wealth is a barrier for people with convictions trying to regain their right to vote. #Washington state is considering legislation that would remove that barrier. #FreeTheVoteWA

“By holding Floridians’ right to vote hostage, the Florida Supreme Court is permitting the unconstitutional modern-day poll tax in SB 7066, and redefining an amendment nearly 65 percent of Florida voters approved of in 2018." #finesandfees #florida hrld.us/373Szit
