Replying to @PierrePoilievre
Absolutely love to see this, Pierre. Holden represents the soul of Alberta — hardworking Canadians who don’t want Ottawa telling them what to drive. Keep standing up for freedom, for common sense, and for the right to choose. That’s real Canadian leadership 🇨🇦 #StandWithHolden #FreeToDrive

Suspending someone’s driver’s license to coerce payment of fines and fees doesn’t work. It doesn’t magically put money in people’s pockets. Instead it makes it impossible to legally drive to work to earn the money to pay the fines and fees. #freetodrive
Replying to @FinesandFeesJC
Debt-based driver's license restrictions make it harder for people to earn a living and get out of debt. "Hopefully this report will help change the narrative," said @ehafkenschiel. "We can think, 'it's probably a good idea to get rid of this policy." newschannel5.com/news/report…

#lalege must see video about how traffic tickets are destroying communities across the south. #lagov #FinesAndFees #Louisiana #FreeToDrive

For some people, a simple traffic violation can lead to a vicious cycle of fines and even jail time. Watch the short film "Pulled Over/Pulled Under" to see what happens when people get in more trouble for an inability to pay than for anything they did: trib.al/xehjalp

Nearly everyone texts while they drive. Only some communities are pulled over by police for traffic stops. A #lalege bill up for hearing Monday will suspend #DriversLicenses as punishment for texting. All #Louisiana should be #FreeToDrive. Send and email: legis.la.gov/archive/2022/hs…

Debt-based driver’s license suspensions serve no public safety purpose and hurt communities. Ask your Senators to support the #DrivingforOpportunityAct #FreetoDrive: buff.ly/3Gww1JJ

🚨The Driving for Opportunity Act passed @JudiciaryDems @SenJudiciaryGOP with an overwhelming bipartisan vote! This is a crucial step toward #FreeToDrive and ending the practice of suspending a driver’s license solely because an individual has not paid fines fees.

Millions of Americans are not #FreetoDrive and can't provide for their families because they can't afford to pay traffic fines and fee​s. Tell your representative to support the Driving for Opportunity Act to end debt-based license suspensions: freetodrive.org/take-action/…
