In just a few short weeks, Illinois will implement the Pretrial Fairness Act, a law that will end money bond and ensure that no one is jailed while awaiting trial simply because they can’t afford to purchase their freedom. The Pretrial Fairness Act will improve community safety and make our pretrial system more fair, but some are attacking legislators who voted for the Pretrial Fairness Act and trying to intimidate them into rolling it back or repealing it before it goes into full effect!

In a moment you’ll be connected with your legislators, it’s important you:

• Let them know you’re a constituent

• Say that you want them to protect the Pretrial Fairness Act

• Ask them to only support changes endorsed by the Illinois Network for Pretrial Justice in line with the goal of reducing the harm pretrial jailing has caused our communities

Our voices together are most powerful when legislators hear directly from constituents. Enter your address into this easy tool to be connected by phone to YOUR Illinois State Representative and State Senator. Let them know you want them to stand strong against efforts to roll back or repeal the Pretrial Fairness Act! While calls might feel intimidating, the staff of these legislators will listen to your voice as a constituent, and it's the most valuable type of legislator contact you can do right now.

Together, we can protect this historic policy change that will expand pretrial freedom and justice throughout Illinois!
