What: False narratives about the impact of Cook County’s efforts to reform the pretrial justice system have permeated the airwaves this summer. While Chicago Police Superintendent Brown and Mayor Lightfoot have consistently tried to tie gun violence to pretrial justice reform, a wealth of academic research has proved that these claims are not true. On Wednesday, July 28th at 6pm, the Coalition to End Money Bond will be joined by Cook County Public Defender Sharone Mitchell, Jr., Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez, and Emmett Sanders of MediaJustice to get the facts about pretrial justice reforms and discuss what real community safety looks like.
