America's criminal justice system is broken. Punitive mandatory minimums. Fines and fees that punish poverty. Local sheriffs’ departments aiding and abetting ICE. So many wrongs demand urgent action. Data for Progress is committed to working with activists and policymakers to prove that a progressive platform for criminal justice isn’t simply the right thing to do; it can also win elections nationwide.
End Money Bail
In the 2020 Presidential Primary, candidates have taken increasingly progressive stances on many aspects of the criminal justice system, including growing calls to end our unjust money bail system. We compare these policies to our ideal policy, the End Money Bail Act, progressive and common sense legislation designed to dismantle America’s destructive money bail system.
