Will you stand with us in solidarity to demand an end to New York’s excessive sentencing laws? RSVP here. Join Communities Not Cages New York to help shed a light on the crisis of New York’s racist and unjust sentencing laws. Mass incarceration must end! Right now, New York State has the third largest population of people serving terms of life imprisonment in the country. Over 30,000 of our loved ones, neighbors and friends are incarcerated in state prisons. Between 1994 and 2014, the national number of people in prison who had served more than 15 years increased 526%. The number of people in prison for 25 years or longer increased over 5,000%! Together, we'll demand the end of prejudicial and unjust sentencing laws and call for passage of the Marvin Mayfield Act (S.6471/A.2036A), Second Look Act (S.321/A.531), and Earned Time Act (S.774/A.1128).RSVP here to join us on December 11 to demand the end of prejudicial and unjust sentencing laws. If you'd like to help spread the word, you can share the attached graphic Pass #CommunitiesNotCages. We are conducting the Westchester rally on December 11th at 12-1pm in Ossining in the parking lot of Hudson Link For Higher Education.In solidarity,Mujahideen Communities Not Cages New York ...

2025 is our year to win passage of the Second Look Act, Earned Time Act, and Marvin Mayfield Act.

These urgent reforms will reunite families and advance both safety and justice.
