The NYCLU and ACLU have been working to decarcerate vulnerable folks during this time. Please take a minute to send this message to Congress.
Public health experts have repeatedly warned that mass incarceration poses a serious public health risk due to COVID-19. Yet, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have failed to use their authority to safely and swiftly decarcerate. This puts us all at risk.
Congress must pass the Emergency Community Supervision Act in the next COVID-relief package. This will mandate the release of the most vulnerable to this deadly virus and save lives.
We cannot ignore incarcerated people in our public health response to COVID-19. Join me and demand that Congress pass this critical bill to protect us all. Here's how you can send your message.
Onward,
Shannon
