- Subject: 2-12: ACTION ALERT! SB 177 (Criminal Sentencing Reform & Prison Moratorium Bill)
Hi everyone! To update you, representatives from the Prison Moratorium Coalition went to the capitol today to lobby members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senators Linkhart and Windels are strongly on board. We spoke at length with Sen. Gordon who indicated that he would consider whether he would support any aspect of SB 177 but he can't support the bill in its entirety. So we need to find 2 more votes. The two most likely are Senator Rob Hernandez (D-Denver) who should be supportive and Senator Jim Dyer (R-Littleton). I have been told that Sen. Dyer is more moderate and might be willing to consider supporting SB 177. We must not give up. Increased pressure is critical. LEGISLATIVE TARGETS. Please call or email Senator Rob Hernandez (D-Denver) at (303)866.4862; rhernand@sni.net and Sen. Jim F. Dyer (R-Littleton) at (303) 866.4884 (he doesn't have email) SENATE HEARING: SB 177 will be heard before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Feb. 14th at approximately 2:30 p.m. in Committee Hearing Room 353 (3rd Floor). PLEASE SHOW UP! WE NEED TO LET THE COMMITTEE KNOW THE EXTENT OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR PRISON POLICY CHANGE. Please bring along members from your organization, friends and family, if possible.
