Main (All Targets)
Hello my name is _________, I am a resident of ________, and I am calling on behalf of [your org, or the Dallas Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression]. Given the present pandemic crisis, I demand that you take immediate action to depopulate our prisons and jails.
Additional for County Judges
I demand that the poor who can’t afford bail be released back to their community immediately. All bail-eligible and vulnerable people (the sick, the older, and those with compromised immune systems) should be released immediately without the need to pay for bail.
Additional for District Attorney & County Commissioners
I demand that you move to drop bail requirements for all eligible cases. I also demand that you move the courts to reduce sentences on an emergency basis for the elderly and medically vulnerable.
