The FL House's Civil Justice Subcommittee just unanimously approved HB 903 to reform FL's driver’s license suspension policies. Two million Floridians (1 in 8 drivers!) have a suspended license. FFJC's @anydayisnow testified — here's our press statement: finesandfeesjusticecenter.org/2020/02/04/flo… pic.twitter.com/HSYzWy2sw3

NYC has fined incarcerated people >$1 million since 2015.
"DOC’s role as police, prosecutor, judge and beneficiary of these alleged infractions is a huge conflict of interest,” said @joannagweiss. “Every time the DOC writes a ticket, they make money." thecity.nyc/2020/02/new-yo…

“Drivers have been used as a ‘piggy-bank’ to raise revenue for the state”. Maryland lawmakers call for cutting late fees on toll fines | WTOP wtop.com/dc-transit/202…

We can not fund public defenders through fines and fees. Louisiana’s crisis demonstrates why. Public defenders face funding crisis for sixth year in a row, report says | Courts | theadvocate.com theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…

While we’re looking at statewide legislation to end criminal fees, there are many counties that have already taken important action and LA could become one of them, says Stephanie Campos-Bui of @berkeleylawpac #debtfreejustice #letsgetfreela

Thank you R.I. Public Defenders and @NACDL for including me in a powerful day exposing how fines and fees are upending the lives of too many Rhode Islanders. Thank you to the newly returned citizens for guiding the advocates on what needs to be done and sharing your experiences twitter.com/finesandfeesjc…

We wish @thecentersquare had covered our public comment over past few months, demonstrating that non-payment of #FinesAndFees leads to re-incarceration for people on probation, derailing their successful #reentry and #JRI. We ask #lalege to implement Act 668 of 2018 session NOW. twitter.com/FinesandFeesJC…

Historically fines were an alternative to custody…we are now imposing them AND sending [individuals] to jail…
There is absolutely no basis for incarcerating someone and to, also, impose a fine. -Lisa Foster @lafoster29 , Co-Director,@FinesandFeesJC

At $261 per person, Washington, D.C. assesses more fines and fees than any other American locality. But it's not just DC -- NYC, Chicago, New Orleans, and Boston all assessed more than $100 in fines per person in 2017. qz.com/1789851/no-us-… @dkopf @JustinRohrlich

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers have a suspended driver's license just because they don't have enough money to pay a traffic ticket.
Check out drivenbyjustice.org & @CCA_NY's op-ed below to learn more about how we can stop this vicious cycle of poverty & punishment. twitter.com/FinesandFeesJC…
