For-profit cash bail only exists in the US and Philippinesโฆ
17 Oct 2022
Did you know that the for-profit cash bail system exists only in the U.S. and the Philippines? Did you know that 500,000 human beings are in jail cells right now separated from their families before being convicted of anything, most of them solely because they can pay cash?

The more I learn about these models of civilian response through our work with @LocalProgress the more Iโm convinced of how possible and beneficial and urgent they are for our communities.

Today George Floyd would have been 49 years old. His murder by a cop inspired an international uprising against police terror, that is still unresolved and still occurring in our community. Rest in Power

The Illinois State's Attorneys Association isn't just trying to gut the Pretrial Fairness Act, they're grasping for even more power to jail more Black people.

Itโs called Treatment Not Trauma, T. Itโs a crisis response that could dispatch mental health professionals with an EMT to mental health crisis calls โ instead of armed police officers.

"Where you have water, you have life. Here in the United States, we must make sure everyone has access to clean, affordable water if we want life to thrive," says @oscarfor10.

ALT Our community has already been impacted tremendously by outdated water infrastructure, yet my working-class friends and neighbors are expected to accept life in a โsacrifice zoneโ and the burdens of environmental injustice, says Oscar Sanchez.

THREAD. The recent New York Times article on cop television shows furthers a frightening ignorance in liberal circles about "community policing." It's important to understand why the NYT article is so dangerous.

So many people across the country working hard to transform the way we think about how to keep people safe. Specially out most vulnerable. Grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn about how this work is being done in as many places as possible!

Localities across the country are pushing for and investing in community-led strategies that build real safety - like community responder programs.
Weโre in #Portland with two dozen elected officials, staffers, & community partners to learn about the citywide @PDXStResponse!

Probably because those budgets are the product of the types of politics and politicians that are propping him up - your George Cardneas and Lori Lightfoot, your Dick Mell and Iris Martinez. So what else to do but lie and say that YOUR calls and e-mails will magically do the trick

Really gives the game away here. He fully admits that a ward office cannot do work like tree trimming and pothole repair itself, and that all heโd actually do is send some emails. No plan to address the actual issue - austerity budgets underfunding and understaffing city services
ALT @Samie33rdWard: Thatโs the big difference between myself and others. Thereโs no excuses about 311 if I were the alderman. I would request from CDOT in house crews or the contractor to make repairs quickly. Or reach out to the deputy commissioner of Forestry to prioritize important requests.
