Say you support criminal justice reform

Lewis -- Right now, there are more people incarcerated in America than in any other country in the world. The U.S. is home to less than five percent of the world's population, but almost 25 percent of the world's prisoners. There are people who deserve to be in prison, but too many are nonviolent offenders serving unfairly long sentences. Mass incarceration is a community problem. Locking up that many people comes with consequences, and this epidemic is hurting us every day. OFA supporters across the country are calling on their members of Congress to support legislation that makes our criminal justice system smarter, less expensive, and more effective. Our system should be more than just a pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jail cells. America is a nation of second chances, and when people make mistakes, they deserve to be given the chance to remake their lives. Fortunately, there is a bipartisan effort in Congress to address some of these problems. But its chances of success depend on people like you speaking up for a fairer system. Reforms to our criminal justice system are long overdue -- stand with OFA in telling Congress that it's time to act: https://my.barackobama.com/Stand-For-Criminal-Justice-Reform Thanks, Sara Sara El-Amine Executive Director Organizing for Action
