INCOME-BLIND JUSTICE
Why This Matters
Singling out the wealthy from the poor in our criminal legal system only serves to fuel the root causes of harm in our communities. Everyone should have the same rights, burdens and privileges, no matter how much money you have — or don’t have.

Cash Bail Reform
Tens of thousands of Michiganders are detained pretrial every year because they are unable to pay bail. People who have the resources can pay to go home. Is that fair?
