Join the Communities Not Cages Coalition.

Communities Not Cages is a statewide campaign building the power of people and families impacted by mass incarceration to overhaul New York’s racist and draconian sentencing laws.

Together, we're fighting to win the passage of legislation to:

Eliminate mandatory minimums

Allow judges to review and reconsider extreme sentences

Support transformation and bring our loved ones home
