Thanks for Taking Action! Thank you for contacting your Senators to urge them to prioritize and pass legislation forming a National Criminal Justice Commission. Find your Senators' phone numbers here. A recommended message for your call is below: I am calling to ask the Senator to VOTE YES on Senator Webb’s National Criminal Justice Commission Act amendment to the CJS Appropriations bill this week, because: • A commission could help identify why wrongful convictions happen and how they can be prevented by looking more closely at the causes of wrongful conviction and recommending improvements that would help prevent such miscarriages of justice and increase public safety. • Having a transparent and bipartisan Commission review and identify effective criminal justice policies would increase public safety. • The increase in incarceration over the past twenty years has stretched the system beyond its limits. These high costs to taxpayers are unsustainable, especially during these tough economic times. Please use the form below to tell us how your calls went:
