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Cash bail is a racist and outdated practice that locks people in prison who haven’t even been convicted of a crime – just because they can’t afford to pay bail.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
