SAFE-T Act Town Hall

2/5/2022

Co-Hosted by: CIRC & Afro-Soc BloNo

The Safe-T Act, HB 3653, omnibus criminal justice law signed into law in 2021.

The members of CIRC & Afro-SOC BloNo support this law, and so do the working people of our communities. We strongly encourage you to support the reforms made by the law and do everything in your power to implement the changes with equity. Furthermore, public officials should be mindful that the working people of Illinois support efforts toward increased police accountability, transparency, and reform. The public also desires alternative institutions to address public safety. We are certain that the guidance we are providing will help to establish expectations for these domains. This guidance carefully explains what the law says, what it doesn’t say, and best practices on how to implement this law at the local level here in Illinois.

We are releasing this guidance to assist local municipalities in properly interpreting & implementing HB 3653. We believe it is important for public officials to know that our membership supports this legislation. We encourage public officials to embrace these reforms & implement them to the best of their abilities. Furthermore, our organization is looking to hold public officials accountable when it comes to this responsibility.

Here is the digital link to the guidance:

Our organization is co-hosting a Virtual Town Hall on Saturday, February 5th, 2022 at 1:00 PM with the AfroSocialists and Socialists of Color of Bloomington-Normal to explain the guidance in greater detail. This law has left much controversy and questions around how it will be implemented throughout Illinois.  This law is much more than just the Pretrial Fairness Act. This event hopes to bring clarity to the important nuances of the law. Our Town Hall will also address follow-up laws adjusting HB 3653.
