The Illinois legislature passed a budget that includes continued funding for the Pretrial Success Grant Program! Federal funding withheld by the Trump administration created a budget crisis in Illinois which put this important program in jeopardy. Thanks to people from across Illinois who spoke out in support of saving this program, funds to expand access to vital services for people awaiting trial will be distributed later this year. Those services include mental health and substance use disorder support, transportation, and childcare.

It is important we let our legislators know that we appreciate their continued commitment to advancing the movement for pretrial justice in Illinois. Please fill out this quick form to send a message of thanks to legislators who voted to preserve this vital program.
