Today, we call on you, our Illini Hillel family, to take action in our Let Our People Go campaign. In working with and in support of the Champaign County Bailout Coalition, this campaign focuses on emergency decarceration of prison inmates in Champaign County, specifically those held in money bonds. We also hope to provide liberal healthcare for inmates and have the threshold for custody raised.
Through our actions we hope that individuals who are most vulnerable to the COVID-19 outbreak and who cannot properly practice social distancing while incarcerated can be safe and free, just like the Jews were when freed from bondage in Egypt.
Please visit this Facebook event attached to learn more and find the directions to call-in.
