Today, State’s Attorneys suing over the Pretrial Fairness Act filed a brief with the Illinois Supreme Court. This latest filing rehashes the same bad-faith arguments against adopting and implementing the Pretrial Fairness Act and eliminating money bond.

"Illinois is ready to end money bail. Judge Thomas W. Cunnington’s ruling was not made with sound legal reasoning and is overtly political. It is now up to Illinois counties to follow the will of the people and reject this latest round of misinformed attempts to stall progress."
Every county is legally allowed to implement the Pretrial Fairness Act on January 1st. If counties continue to set money bonds, they are choosing to ignore the will of the people of Illinois as expressed in the democratic legislative process. endmoneybond.org/2022/12/30/…
The recent court ruling challenging the Pretrial Fairness Act DOES NOT prevent the Pretrial Fairness Act from taking effect on January 1st.
The trial court has sided with 58 State’s Attorneys suing over the Pretrial Fairness Act. The court did not issue an injunction and the law still take effect on January 1st.

After nearly two full years of intense struggle by communities across Illinois, we have successfully defended the Pretrial Fairness Act from being rolled back or repealed!

We oppose Sen.@ScottBennett52's proposed changes to the Pretrial Fairness provisions of the SAFE-T Act. If adopted, his bill would increase pretrial jailing in Illinois.
We must protect the Pretrial Fairness Act!

We've broken down some of the key problems with SB4228 in this fact sheet:
SB4228, the Safe-T Act trailer bill, was introduced today to gut the Pretrial Fairness Act and make the new system even more unjust than the current money-based system. Follow the link below to tell your legislators that you oppose it.

We strongly opposes SB4228, a trailer bill introduced today to modify the Pretrial Fairness provisions of the SAFE-T Act. If passed, this bill would cause the number of people jailed while awaiting trial to skyrocket & exacerbate racial disparities. endmoneybond.org/2022/09/26/…
Check out the fact checks below for challenging the conservative and racist misinformation being spread about the Pretrial Fairness Act.
