Utah becomes the latest state to advance prosecutor-initiated resentencing. Second chances must be part of any serious safety agenda. Read more in @RightOnCrime's latest blog:

As many families gather together to celebrate the Fourth of July, there are millions of families separated because of America’s incarceration crisis. And despite the cost they pay to support their loved ones, they have hope that their loved ones will be home one day.

Today, @RepJeffries shared the story of Narciso, a father of three U.S. Marines, who was arrested while at work. After decades of raising a patriotic family in the U.S., his story reminds us of the cruelty of our failed #immigration system. The reconciliation bill passed today

ICYMI: Earlier this week, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green signed a trio of bills that end extreme sentencing for children, bar incarceration of children in adult jails, and raise the age of prosecution. These policies are in line with data that shows long sentences don’t make us safer.

Thank you for your leadership, @SenAlexPadilla. We agree — allowing recent and proposed #immigration policies to move forward will hurt families and increase prices of everyday goods and services by $2,150 more each year, making life more costly for all Americans.

As we head into the Fourth of July weekend, let us remember the power of freedom and second chances. Leonard Peltier was one of more than 2,000 people whose long, outdated federal sentence was commuted earlier this year. He reflects on his freedom after nearly 50 years behind.

9) Everyone deserves to feel safe in their communities.No one wants poverty and homelessness ignored—but jail is not a housing policy. It’s time to invest in what works and stop punishing people for being poor. Learn more @

8) Voters agree—it’s time to shift: Nearly 80% say housing, mental health, and addiction services—not policing—are key to addressing homelessness. People want real solutions, not more punishment. We need policies rooted in care, not criminalization.

7) Here’s the Proof.* In Miami, homelessness dropped 90% after a consent decree limited arrests and the city expanded housing. * In Denver, arrests dropped 40% & 77% stayed housed for 3 years.* In LA, Housing First cut the likelihood of jailing by 95% within 18 months.

6) Want Safety? Start with Housing: The solution isn’t a mystery. We know that high-quality housing and supportive services, reduces both homelessness and crime. We know what works. We just need to do it.

5) Criminalizing homelessness doesn’t make anyone safer—it puts unhoused people at greater risk. They face assault, robbery, and theft at rates 11x, 12x, and 20x higher than the general population, and they experience disproportionate violence from police.

4) Sweeps don’t reduce crime: Encampment sweeps are framed as public safety—but the data says otherwise. * In Denver, forced removals didn’t reduce citywide crime. * In the Bronx, clearing a camp didn’t reduce crime complaints. * In LA, flooding Skid Row with police made no.

3) Criminalizing homelessness drives more homelessness: Sweeps, citations, and arrests don’t reduce homelessness or crime; they trap people in it. Nearly 80% of California’s unhoused population has been jailed. Once someone has a record, it’s even harder to find housing or work,.
