THREAD: In all the lies over bail reform, we so easily lose sight of the people who benefit from freedom. 100,000s more free who get to experience the everyday normalcy & joys of freedom. People like Jon, Sandy, & Frank. "Freedom to me is just life."
A short, hopeful story. Starts 2 years ago, with a single mother named Terranisha in a Houston courtroom. Free pretrial because of bail reform. Ends w/ a dinner at John Legend’s house w/ other people who experienced freedom. But really it’s only the beginning. Watch & read on:
Bail reform isn’t anything like what you see in the news. It's not sensational. It’s waking up in your own bed. Putting on your shoes. Walking outside. Getting your kids to school. Searching for work. Kissing your spouse. These real stories must be told. GatheringForFreedom.org

In a single interview John Legend explains why Donald Trump is a racist. Is actually *benefitting* from a 2-tiered justice system. And premiers a project to share stories from the 1000s who've benefitted from bail reform to win more freedom. Tour de force:
Bail was designed to be an incentive to show up to court, but in reality it serves as punishment for those too poor to purchase their freedom. “Everybody is worried about safety. Investments in freedom are what is going to make us safer.” - John Legend
Why does our money bail system need reform? @johnlegend invites us to his house to discuss pretrial freedom. #DoingJustice

This past weekend, John Legend shared w/ @jrpsaki on NBC the true story of bail reform: freedom, health, & safety. And introduced the ongoing initiative to gather stories from thousands across the country who benefitted from pretrial freedom. The world got to meet Terranisha.
John Legend invited Terranisha to his home. Along w/ Jon, Tony, Tabytha, Angel, & Andrea. 6 people from NY, Houston, & LA. To break bread. To share real stories of bail reform & strategize on how to expand it. Read on for what they told him:
When John Legend heard about this ongoing effort to share freedom stories, he knew from personal experience & working on this issue for a decade this was critical. He wanted to meet & brainstorm w/ the storytellers. So he connected with Terranisha. And invited her to his home.
Terranisha’s story is not unique. More & more people experiencing pretrial freedom have been starting to share their stories of bail reform. The goal: To breathe life through story into the growing body of data proving bail reform’s success. Learn more: GatheringForFreedom.org
The story of bail reform isn't what you see in the news. It's been an extraordinary success. Yet reasoned data is no match for fear. The real story of bail reform-ordinary stories of people going about their lives-don’t get covered. What if we could change this?
Upon release, Terranisha met w/ @TxJailProject, who supported her. Her case was ultimately dismissed. Pretrial freedom was everything for her. But it wasn’t sensational. It was just her being with her kids. Searching for work. Everyday normalcy of life. Why is this important?
It’s so good to see these kinds of bail stories uplifted

Excellent 🧵 And US is an outlier, one of only 2-3 countries *in the world* who have for-profit bail bond systems. It's draconian & benefits no one but the bail bondsman.

As a public defender, I knew what freedom from pretrial detention meant for those I represented. Nothing sensational: Being w/ family. Making it to the doctor. Searching for work. A new project is now gathering 1000s of real freedom stories. Visit: GatheringForFreedom.org
