Drop the Bail Lawsuit

On Wednesday, February 21, we’re gathering in front of the Harris County Commissioners Court to urge them to settle the bail lawsuit immediately! Already two federal courts have found that the county’s practice of keeping people accused of minor crimes in jail because they can’t afford to buy their freedom violates the Constitution. Just this week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the judgement of a lower court. As the commissioners consider their next step, we want to remind them that we, their constituents, want them to stop wasting our tax money on defending this lawsuit and on jailing people because they’re poor.
