Educating ourselves

Support to End Money Bond

Supporting the Coalition to End Money Bond and Chicago Community Bond Fund
​On April 10, 2019, the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Pretrial Practices announced it will be hosting three listening sessions on pretrial justice and accepting written comments through June 30th of this year. This is a direct result of the Coalition to End Money Bond and our allies’ demands for a process for public input into this important conversation. Over the last several months, we collected nearly 1,000 signatures in support of a public hearing and sent in hundreds of postcards from individual supporters calling on the commission to hear the voices of impacted communities. Thank you for your part in making this happen! 

The currently scheduled hearings are:
  • Urbana: Monday, May 6, 2019, 11:30am-1pm at the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board Training Center, 1701 E. Main Street, Urbana, IL 61802; and
  • Chicago: Monday, June 17, 2019, 12-1:30pm at the Michael A. Bilandic Building, 5th Floor, Room C-500, 160 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL 60601.

If you are interested in a deeper dive into the Coalition to End Money Bond's statewide campaign and the Supreme Court Commission on Pretrial Practices, you can join us 

Tuesday May 7th for a teach-in at
Grace Place (637 S Dearborn) from 6-8pm!
 
More details are on the facebook event page.​

Currently, the best way to support our work is sharing this petition calling on the Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Pretrial Practices to hold a public hearing. You can also share this facebook post and twitter post that promote the petition with the video produced by Tom Callahan. There is also a video explaining a bill we are supporting, the Equal Justice for All Act, which was created by Danbee Kim. You can share using this twitter post and this facebook post.
