John, this is
urgent: a critical new bail reform law just went into effect in New York,
and it’s already under attack. We’re asking you to step up right now to
protect bail reform!
Cash bail is a racist and outdated practice that locks people in prison
who haven’t even been convicted of a crime – just because they can’t
afford to pay bail. Communities of color suffer the most.
We can’t allow the corrupt prosecutors, conservatives, and law enforcement
who are set on criminalizing communities of color to roll back progress
that reformers worked so hard to achieve.
The people of New York need your help,
John. Can you make a quick phone call to tell
Governor Andrew Cuomo to stand strong and protect this bail reform law – a
law that he pushed for himself?
Call 518-730-4619 right now, and you’ll hear a recording of the
instructions you need before we connect you to Cuomo’s office.
Because of bail reform, thousands of people are being protected from
beatings, torture, and death in jail. Make no mistake: the attacks against
bail reform are rooted in lies and racist rhetoric perpetuated by those
who want to maintain the mass incarceration machine. We can’t let them
win.
The nation is looking to New York. If New York gives in to racist
rollbacks to reform, it could pave the way for more cities to do the same.
We need you to step up right now. Call 518-730-4619 to tell Cuomo: Protect
bail reform and the people of New York. Do not give in to racist rhetoric.
Right now, hundreds of thousands of people across the country are in jail
pre-trial just because they can’t afford bail. Let’s do this for them. The
country is watching what New York does next.
Thank you for calling,
Real Justice
P.S. After you call, please reply to this email to let us know how it
went.
