COSTS OF FREEDOM IN DALLAS COUNTY
-Community Discussion-
Dallas County locks up over 100,000 people who are overwhelmingly coming from black, brown, and low-income households every year. We also spend over $400,000,000 to do so versus the $26 million we spend on community needs. That's 100,000 people who now carry a record that leaves them unable to meet their most basic needs like housing and a livable income. Those 100,000 people are our Faith in Texas members, our neighbors, our family, and our friends. As people of faith, we cannot stand aside as the mass incarceration system we so heavily invest in destroys the lives of those we are commanded to love in our many faith traditions. But what can we do? Friends - we have an opportunity in September to make our people safe from Dallas County's incarceration system. If you want to reverse the tide of locking people away then join us on 8/26 to hear what things (big and small) you can do in the next few weeks to put your faith into action and end mass incarceration in Dallas.
