Studies show that mandatory sentences donโt reduce crime. These laws cost millions of dollars, yet don't make communities safer. VA should invest in evidence-based crim justice policies instead of mandatory minimums. #VAGeneralAssembly needs to #endmandatoryminimums this year!
I hate to break it to you, but the Democratic Party only cares about your vote, not about you. Vote Jo Jorgensen (Parody) for true criminal justice reform. #LetHerSpeak #FakeDebates #EndQI #EndNoKnocks #EndWarOnDrugs #EndCashBail #EndMandatoryMinimums #EndVictimlessCrimes #Debate2020 #election
THREAD: This is an astounding number that makes a clear case for why we need to #endmandatoryminimums . Prosecutors & police make choices about what to charge and what plea offers to make. Those choices are affected by structural and historical racism, and this is the result. 1/10
3 years ago, MIQUELLE WEST joined the The National Council in the fight for clemency for 100 women, including her mom, Michelle.
To this day, Miquelle, Michelleโs friend, Kemba Smith and andreaFreeHerjames are still leading the charge to #FreeMichelleWest and #EndMandatoryMinimums .
We are so close to the finish line... Now's the time to Text Justice to 21333 and connect with your lawmakers. Tell them to support SB 1443.
#EndMandatoryMinimums
Brother and sister bond 4-ever. We miss you Christian, 23 year sentence for marijuana is ridiculous! 23 years old living and working in the Sierras of Northern Cali, never hurt a soul. 4 years already lost. ๐ The state of IL sells and makes millions. #endmandatoryminimums
Kevin Ring talking to me about how we are going to fight to end the 18 to 1 crack disparity. One of the coolest people I know. #EndMandatoryMinimums #endmassincarceration #endthedespairty
Why must we #endmandatoryminimums ?
1. They coerce people into plea agreements & giving up their right to say 'I did not do this'
2. They do not reduce crime
3. They bar judges/juries from exercising mercy where appropriate
4. They're imposed disproportionately on Black people.
If only this was Pres. Bidenโs take on Americans in US prisons. #endmassincarceration #endmandatoryminimums #implementfirststepact
HAPPENING NOW: SB 104 to #EndMandatoryMinimums is being heard in the Senate Judiciary committee.
