PHONE BANK VOLUNTEERS
The Money Bail Reform Act (Senate Bill 10) would change the way California courts assign bail, especially for disadvantaged defendants. The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is seeking phone-bank volunteers to lobby for the bill’s passage. “We must fix this system,” the NCJW said in a statement. “Our current money bail system is unjust and unsafe. The amount of money in your pocket determines whether you will get out of jail. Families are in debt for years. Join us and make a difference.” Co-sponsored by Bend the Arc and IKAR. Laptop or tablet and cellphone required. 6-8:30 p.m. NCJW/L.A. Council House, 543 N. Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles. (323) 651-2930. info@ncjwla.org. RSVP to maya@ncjwla.org.
