33] – NetRoots Nation [activist@netrootsnation.org] on Tues., Sept. 19 at 7 PM ET will hold a webinar about How Illinois Ended Money Bail. In January 2021, the Illinois legislature passed the Pretrial Fairness Act. This historic legislation restores the presumption of innocence and makes Illinois safer by ending money bond and the unconstitutional practice of caging people pretrial simply because they cannot afford to pay for their freedom. The law is scheduled to go into effect on September 18. It is hard to overstate how important of ending cash bail is to progressive justice reform, and the hope is that other states will soon follow Illinois’s lead.

But once again, House extremists want to cut these programs from the budget. And if their demands aren't met, they threaten to shut down our government. Both the cuts and a shutdown would devastate millions of us, especially people in resource-deprived communities. NETWORK staff, including Executive Director Mary Novak, the Government Relations team, and the Grassroots Mobilization team--and special guests—will discuss what is at stake and how you can take action to ensure that everyone thrives, regardless of zip code, racial identity, or income.

39] – Join the Letter to the Editor Party: Freedom To Vote by engaging in Virtual Letter Writing, hosted by Common Cause from 8 to 9 PM ET on Tues., Sept. 19. In America, we value our freedom. The freedom to have a say in decisions that impact our lives - from curbing the pandemic to creating jobs to making health care affordable. For months, the American people have been calling for national standards to protect our freedom to vote and have an equal voice in our government. In July of 2023, the Freedom to Vote Act was reintroduced in the Senate. The Freedom to Vote Act is an extremely necessary reform. This important legislation will protect our right to vote, end partisan gerrymandering, counter undemocratic and dangerous election sabotage efforts, and help eliminate the undue influence of dark money in our elections. The last time the Freedom to Vote Act was introduced, all 50 Senate Democrats twice voted to advance major voting rights legislation, and all Senate Republicans twice voted against even allowing public debate on the bill, causing a filibuster. Can this legislation get passed? RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/dfadcoalition/event/418654/?followup_modal_context=organization_newsletter_custom_recommendations. Learn how to use an easy-to-use tool to draft a short letter on the urgent need to pass the Freedom to Vote Act. The Party will continue on Thurs., Oct. 19 from 8 to 9 PM ET.
