ALT GRAPHIC ID: Today, the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the Pretrial Fairness Act, ensuring that a person's ability to pay cash bail does not unfairly dictate their presumption of innocence in the court system. Cash bail does not make communities safer, and it never has; it has simply exacerbated existing inequities and disparities in the criminal legal system. Pretrial detention, as a result of the inability to pay bail, further decimates communities that have long been most impacted by mass incarceration, and the destabilization of households and families. I am grateful that we can move forward to implement this legislation to uphold justice and equity.

You know #RepublicanPaulVallas is a Republican because he is endorsed by Republicans.
This tweet is still up! And you read it right, Paul says he's "complimented to have received an official endorsement" from the Chicago Republican Party. #24Days24Ways

At the polls last week, Illinois voters rejected efforts to incite fear. @chicagotribune op-ed is out now with Michelle Alexander, author of @thenewjimcrow, on why Illinois lawmakers must protect the Pretrial Fairness Act & eliminate cash bail: bit.ly/3OcduXm

We are at the DuPage County Courthouse protesting State's Attorney Bob Berlin. He has repeatedly appeared alongside racist right-wing extremists who have spread misinformation about the Pretrial Fairness Act without ever condemning them.

Thanks @RepChrisWelch for standing up to racist fearmongering!
"Those who are telling you they want to repeal the Safe-T Act, ask them what else they want to repeal." - @RepChrisWelch
We're with you! We have to stand strong & defend the Pretrial Fairness Act from those who want to deny us of our most fundamental rights!
Trump megadonor Richard Uihlein is spending millions of dollars on racist propaganda about bail reform masquerading as news. This fact check calls out their lies.
The right is going full racist Willie Horton on criminal justice reform. It's going to continue to get worse at least through November, so we need to escalate our fight as well.
A fake newspaper delivered across the state asks what the end of money bail will mean for Illinois families.
For tens of thousands, it means that their loved ones will be able to remain in their communities, with their families, while awaiting trial.

The Pretrial Fairness Act will #EndMoneyBail, one of the most glaring racial injustices in our criminal legal system.
Law enforcement has claimed that this change will make our communities less safe. Listen to Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III explain why that's simply untrue:
