Justice Department Finds Civil Rights Violations by the City of Lexington

Justice Department Finds Civil Rights Violations by the City of Lexington!

Jill Collen Jefferson - your persistence and years of work in Lexington advocating for proper police practices has finally brought the sunlight. And the Feds.

“Unlawfully arresting, jailing, and detaining people based on their failure to pay money without assessing if they can afford to do so - has been devastating for [Lexington]. Being poor is not a crime, but practices like these amount to punishing people for poverty.” - Merrick B. Garland

Thank you, Jill.
