Americans concur: our criminal justice system is broken. A lot of individuals do not recognize how lobbyists and political leaders are keeping it that method. Omar Epps and Desmond Meade describe how our damaged political system is making the issue even worse, and what the anti-corruption motion can do to repair it.
The Issue
AMERICA JAILS MORE INDIVIDUALS THAN ANY OTHER NATION WORLDWIDE.
Both per capita and in overall numbers, the U.S. prisons more individuals than China, Russia, or any other country– and this falls disproportionately on black Americans and other individuals of color. While criminal offense rates around the nation have actually dropped, imprisonment rates are just increasing. If we not do anything, one in 4 black guys, one in 6 Latinos, and one in seventeen white males born today will wind up in prison.
PERSONAL JAILS MAKE MONEY FROM LOCKING INDIVIDUALS UP– AND YOU’RE SPENDING FOR IT
Personal jail corporations invested $64 million over the past 10 years lobbying for longer sentences, more stringent laws, and harder enforcement. They even compose the laws that provide tax kickbacks in exchange for contracting out nearly-free jail labor. This year alone, they’ll make $6 billion in earnings. That’s $6 billion of your tax dollars.
91% OF AMERICANS WISH TO SEE THE SYSTEM REPAIRED … BUT POLITICIANS AREN’T LISTENING TO INDIVIDUAL
Conservatives, progressives, and moderates alike wish to see the criminal justice system reformed. Like almost every other problem you care about, our corrupt political system caters to a handful of unique interests and billionaires rather of supporting the will of the American individuals.
The Option
WE CAN’T REPAIR THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM UNTIL WE END CORRUPTION. Let’s get to work.
THE AMERICAN ANTI-CORRUPTION ACT MAKES CORRUPTION ILLEGAL.
The Anti-Corruption Act prohibits presents from unique interests to political leaders, closes the revolving door in between Congress and lobbying companies, and ensures citizens have a more powerful voice so political leaders in fact represent us. The Act is popular with both conservatives and progressives since it’s not about enabling to one celebration or the other; it has to do with repairing the systems behind America’s most significant issues.
WE NEED TO GO AROUND CONGRESS TO PASS THESE LAWS.
Political leaders take advantage of the system simply the method it is, so they have no reward to pass anti-corruption laws. That suggests it depends on us, the citizens, to do it. Throughout American history, significant federal reforms began with passing laws state by state, leading the way for federal reform. We’re utilizing the exact same tested method– and it’s working. The anti-corruption motion has actually currently won more than 100 triumphes throughout the America.
PROJECTS AROUND THE NATION REQUIRED YOUR AID.
From anti-gerrymandering to ranked option ballot and lobbyist present restrictions, Americans throughout the political spectrum are collaborating today to pass strong anti-corruption laws at the tally this year. They can’t do it alone.
IT’S TIME TO END THE CORRUPT STATUS QUO.
