Fines and Fees Justice Center reposted this
justice reform advocate, criminal legal policy expert, and proven team leader trying to make this world a better place
There are two ways to read the story linked below. On one hand, it's a good overview of some very promising #FinesandFees reform proposals that were recently signed into law in #Delaware. On the other hand, though - and the way I'd encourage anyone seeing this to read it - this is a testament to *years* of incredible, tireless, resilient community mobilization, grassroots partnerships, and sophisticated inside-outside strategizing that Fines and Fees Justice Center was a part of (long, long before I was on the team). There were so many steps along the way. There were so many moments, big and small, that helped build and empower a long-term movement for fines and fees reform in the state. And that's exactly what's possible now: ongoing, deep, visionary advocacy efforts to continue moving the needle on these issues. And that's our goal at FFJC. Always. Beyond helping secure real and groundbreaking policy reform victories, our north star is to institutionalize power, knowledge, and resources in states across the country so that those states can work on fines and fees for the long run. There's a lifetime of work left to do. Let's keep going!
