Join NAMI NYS’s Lunch and Learn series—a monthly webinar designed to help advocates better understand key mental health policy issues.

This months session will feature Communities Not Cages. CNC is a grassroots campaign led by impacted people and families across New York State. Together, we are fighting to end mass incarceration and overhaul New York’s unjust sentencing laws. 

 This month’s lunch and learn presentation will focus on specific legislation addressing New York’s good time and merit time laws, called the Earned Time Act (Senate Bill No. 342/Assembly Bill No. 1085). The Earned Time Act will strengthen and expand “good time” and “merit time” laws to encourage personal transformation in prison and reunite families. Earned time helps to prepare incarcerated people for reintegration and to restore them to their families and communities.

 

An email link will be sent to all registered participants one week in advance.
