ICYMI: "The bill, the Less is More Act, passed the Legislature in June. Syracuse-based Unchained, which pushes for criminal justice reforms, was one of the groups that worked to pass the law. Emily NaPier Singletary and her husband Derek Singletary are the group’s co-founders and co-executive directors."

Amazing work being done right here in Syracuse 👏👏

The next Campaign Update, via Zoom, is on Wednesday, September 15, from 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. Register for the meeting below!

After years of work, the Act passed the Senate and Assembly in June! This is one of the most significant parole reform bills passed in the country - once signed into law, its impact will be enormous.

Right now there are more than 35,000 people on parole in New York subject to incarceration at any moment for non-criminal technical violations, like missing an appointment. And thousands of people -- overwhelmingly Black and Latinx people -- are currently incarcerated for non-criminal technical violations of parole in New York. The Act will change this -- but first Governor Hochul must sign it into law.

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: #LessIsMoreNY - Statewide Campaign Update. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting. Join A Little Piece of Light, Unchained, and Katal for a call about the campaign. On this call, we will: -- Share updates about the Act and campaign -- Discuss next steps in the fight to pass this legislation -- Provide details about how to get involved Please join us! If...
