Dear friend,
An important "second look" sentencing reform bill has come under
attack in Washington, D.C., and we are fighting to keep the bill alive
and get it passed.
Send an email today! Tell your District of Columbia Council members
to support sentencing reform.

Bill 23-0127, the "Second Look Amendment Act of 2019," would allow
people to have their sentences reconsidered by the court if the person
was under age 25 at the time of the crime and has served at least 15
years in prison. The U.S. Attorney and Washington Post are urging
members of the Council to oppose this bill, claiming that releasing
people early will increase crime.
But the bill does not guarantee anyone a sentence reduction -
just the chance to convince the court that they are rehabilitated and
ready for release.
FAMM knows that many people - especially youthful offenders
- age, rehabilitate, and change when they are in prison. We know
this is true even if the crime the person committed was very serious,
or violent. We support second look sentencing reform because we think
people should get a second look and a second chance if they are no
longer a danger and no longer need to be in prison.
Help us fight back against this effort to kill second look sentencing
reform in Washington, D.C. Contact your Council members now and tell
them to support Bill 23-0127.
