Today, we say to the prison-industrial-complex that we are going to bring about real criminal justice reform. We are going to end the international embarrassment of having more people in jail than any other country on earth. Instead of spending $80 billion a year on jails and incarceration, we are going to invest in jobs and education for our young people.

1. No more private prisons and detention centers. No more profiteering from locking people up.

2. No more "war on drugs."

3. No more keeping people in jail because they're too poor to afford cash bail.

4. Move away from an overly-punitive approach to public safety.

5. Rehabilitate people who have made mistakes.

6. Reverse the historical legacy of institutional racism in this country as mass incarceration disproportionately falls on the shoulders of black and brown people in America.

7. Focus on how to safeguard our communities to prevent the conditions that lead to arrests.
