The end of cash bail began last week thanks to years of hard work by our Democratic legislators & dozens of advocacy organizations. Pretrial detainment will now be based on a public safety evaluation.

After years of hard work, we have finally become the very first state in the nation to #EndMoneyBail . Earlier today, I attended a press conference to celebrate this historic day for all Illinoisans. No other state in the nation has implemented such comprehensive pretrial reform.

It's been nearly 8 months since Illinois became the first state to completely #EndMoneyBail and everyone is saying that it's working.
Color us unsurprised!
By ending $ bail, we can move towards a more equitable justice system that upholds the principles of justice for all, regardless of $ or privilege. It's time to prioritize people over wealth and ensure that everyone is treated fairly under the law. #EndMoneyBail
#FreeThemAll
Money bail undermines the principle of innocent until proven guilty by effectively punishing individuals before they have their day in court. Innocent people may feel pressured to plead guilty just to secure their release.

UPDATE: her bail has now been posted! They're telling us it'll be about more 8 hours, but we won't stop until she's free. 🫶🏿🫶🏿

UPDATE: Over the phone, the IRC says they have our young Black woman in the system but don’t show anything regarding her bail or release.
