Elena Weissman, Director, Bronx Freedom Fund: “In solidarity with the CLOSErikers campaign, we applaud the Council for approving this historic plan to dramatically shrink our incarcerated population, improve conditions for all who are incarcerated, and reduce our reliance on the criminal legal system so that we may redirect resources to communities harmed by mass incarceration. The Bronx Freedom Fund envisions a world that addresses injustice and harm without incarceration.”
