Friends;

thank you for your help and persistence. Keep sharing the petition far and wide. They are now trying to limit legal calls to 10 minutes. Keep in touch with your loved ones who are incarcerated so we can keep updated on the conditions behind the wall!

For those of us who care for people with MH and SUD, we know that the criminal legal defense system is too often used as “health care”.

This call for action is for New York State but this is a nationwide pandemic. Please help us get the word out and sign on to this campaign to pass a bill by Assemblyman Gottfried and Senator Rivera that would bring corrections into alignment with 21st century health. https://www.lac.org/news/ny-pass-s-7522-a-9044-and-a-10463-s-8315-to-support-health-and-justice There may be a special session by the legislature that could be an opportunity to address this.
