    Roger Baldwin Foundation of ACLU Inc

    Awarded: Awarded Amount: $50,000

    The ACLU of Illinois (ACLU) and our coalition partners seek to end the unjust revenue-generation practices of Chicago and Illinois governments, and to implement the Pretrial Fairness Act (PFA) to phase out cash bail in Illinois by January 2023. Wealth-based punishments and policies, such as cash bail and excessive fines and fees, disproportionately harm low-income people while failing to improve community safety. Due to the racial wealth gap, people of color suffer disproportionately from wealth-based systems of punishment. The ACLU is working in partnership with two coalitions to address these issues at the city and state level, using policy advocacy, public education and engagement, and implementation strategies to advance reform.
