Petition: Tell Democratic and Republican Leaders to Get On Board With Ending Mass Incarceration

“Join The Nation and the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law in calling on America’s major political parties to end the era of mass incarceration.

So far, both have fallen short. Even Democratic party platforms haven’t merely been silent; they have actually called for policies creating more imprisonment.

We’re asking both sides to boldly break with past platforms, and formally add criminal-justice reform as a key pillar during party conventions this presidential election year.”
