#endmoneybail #DoBetter we need a NEW proposal because this proposal Judge Evans & Judge Hudson signed off does NOT keep us safe & charged people for their own incarceration.

We DESPERATELY need a NEEDS ASSESSMENT not a RISK assessment. Durham deserves a vision of public safety that prioritizes people and not cages. #endmoneybail #dobetter

Durham deserves better. This bail policy keeps Caregivers from their children. Our system has continually defended the criminalization of Black and Brown people. Our judicial system wrote a play on words. This is not 1865 #endmoneybail #dobetter

We want an end to the use of money that serves as a ransom to keep our people in cages! If we are worried about people showing up to court let’s do something that HELPS the people. #endmoneybail

We should be asking, “what do people NEED to get back to court?” The community has said, we need transportation & childcare NOT tracking devices! #endmoneybail #dobetter

“Durham deserves better. This policy is UNACCEPTABLE. We want an investment in housing, drug treatment and a real investment into mental health.”, Serena Sebring #endmoneybail

8 people have died in Durham County Jail in the past 5 years.This jail kills Black, poor, and LGBTQ folks because they cannot afford the cost of bail. We must prioritize the needs of the community rather than an investment in cages that detain our people #EndMoneyBail #DoBetter

“This does not keep us safe!” #endmoneybail @BYP_100 Durham memebr AJ standing in solidarity with Black & Brown communities suffering under the legislation approved by Judge Evans & Judge Hudson

“We want Durham to catch up with what the people want!”, Kyla H leading us in demanding what we deserve and have asked for #endmoneybail

“we winded up getting a lump of coal by Judge Hudson who said that he wanted to #endmoneybail but this policy does not say that & when it’s your turn we will let you know that!” , Muffin with @AllofUsorNone

Judge Hudson & Judge Evans i hope you see that we have collected hundreds of dollars to free our people & we hope you hear that we DO NOT accept this. We see you & will not stop til our people are free!” @BYP_100 Courtney Sebring closing us out in this powerful action today.

We reject this new policy because it criminalizes mental health and drug use, develops another form of a cage through electronic monitoring and relies on individuals in power to assume the financial standing of those criminalized. #EndMoneyBail #DoBetter
