Everyone deserves a fair trial yet every county in Illinois underfunds public defense. This unfortunately has a detrimental impact on poor communities, Black communities and other communities of color. Join the Illinois Network for Pre-trial Justice in calling on your reps to vote YES for the Funded Advocacy & Independent Representation (FAIR) Act. The FAIR Act will increase equity, independence, and resources to Illinois’ public defenders, helping Illinois to meet its duty to residents. There is a public defense crisis in Illinois and the FAIR act can end it!
