[ACLU-CU ALERT] Bail Reform in Illinois -- ACT NOW!

[Champaign County ACLU Announcements]

Dear Champaign County ACLU members,

*Many people are incarcerated in Illinois simply because they cannot afford
to post bail. You can do two things to change the system.*

1. Go to the URL below and follow the directions on how to file a witness
slip. The Bail Reform Act is being considered in committee this Tuesday
April 30th, so please TAKE ACTION before then. Your witness slip informs
legislators that a lot of us out here support bail reform.

2. Come to the *Rally to Reform Money Bail* on May 6 at Canaday Park,
Urbana, from 10 - 11:30 or for part of that time. The Illinois Commission
on Pre-trial Reform will be here to listen to the people of
Champaign-Urbana and we need to make sure they know we support serious
reform! The Listening Session will be 11:30 - 1 and is open to the public.
Anyone can speak.

*The ACLU is committed to reforming our justice system to make it fairer
and more effective. Thanks for your help! *

*Champaign County ACLU*
