#NoOn25
Our current system is broken. Prop 25 replaces California's money bail system with algorithms that determine who is freed and who is jailed.

This system adds to mass incarceration and keeps innocent people locked up with fewer ways to be released.

Meet Andreya - an Advocate and Abolitionist who works to keep innocent people out of jail. Andreya has seen first-hand how the police and how the courts work. She’s seen how pretrial racism disproportionately affects our people every day.
