The oldest are two decades old, and the total number accounts for more than 40% of all warrants in the city. If Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s office embraces the idea, more than 44,000 people would see relief. Councilmember Jason Williams, who sponsored the resolution with the support of the nonprofit Stand With Dignity and the Orleans Public Defenders, said that the city’s court system, which is funded by fines and fees, places a disproportionate burden on poor residents. “New Orleans is not a large city, and we’re not a very affluent city,” he said. “If you visit traffic or municipal court on a given day, you’ll see folks from our poor communities. We’re basically extracting the little bit of wealth in those communities so that their residents can avoid jail.” Researchers at the Vera Institute found that warrants in New Orleans often resulted because defendants were reluctant to show up for court hearings because they feared being jailed for not being able to pay, a concern that wasn’t necessarily warranted. Researchers found that judges didn’t lock people up when they explained in person that they couldn’t afford to immediately pay the fines levied against them. “But fear of being jailed on the spot … keeps many people who can’t pay away from court. And when people don’t show up to pay, judges typically issue warrants for failing to appear,” the report reads. At New Orleans municipal court, the top five charges associated with warrants are nuisance crimes, or “crimes of poverty,” according to Orleans Public Defenders Chief of Trials Danny Engelberg. Citations for obstruction Recommended For You of a public place, disturbing the peace, public drunkenness, criminal trespassing, and simple possession of marijuana all led to a significant Don’t Make Intimate Violence Victims Look for Help number of warrants when those with tickets couldn’t pay the fees, or Ohio Considering Opposing Bills on Abortion didn’t show up in court. Reversal “The criminal justice system shouldn’t be policing these crimes in the first Texas Will Use State Land for Homeless Camp place,” Engelberg said. “It’s distracting law enforcement from real issues.” Cantrell’s administration—and specifically the city attorney’s office—holds the power to dismiss the warrants, but hasn’t said whether it will or not. The mayor’s office did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Engelberg said that he’s optimistic the city attorney will embrace the resolution. “The judges have said they want to do it, so I’m confident there’s the momentum to take action,” he said. “The city has really spoken in unison to get rid of them.” https://www.routefifty.com/public-safety/2019/11/city-could-wipe-away-55000-old-warr... 11/12/2019 A City Could Wipe Away 55,000 Old Warrants - Route Fifty Page 3 of 7 Engelberg said the public defender’s office already had been “chipping away” at the mountain of warrants by hosting warrant dismissal clinics. SEARCH Connecting state and local government leaders They brought judges to homeless shelters and other locations throughout the city, and most people who had their cases heard saw their warrants and fines erased. “We’d get hundreds of warrants vacated in a day, but we knew we could do this every day and not make a dent,” he said. New Orleans is not the first city to dismiss warrants en masse. San Francisco dismissed 66,000 warrants in 2016, and Los Angeles erased two million warrants and minor citations last month. Though police in these cities weren’t actively looking for those with warrants, they’re often discovered during traffic stops or other encounters with law enforcement. Even if jail time would never have been suggested for the original crime, the inability to pay becomes a jailable offense, Williams explained. “We did away with debtors’ prisons in the 1830s in name only,” he said. “If you can’t find the money to pay your fine you can end up in jail.” That’s why Williams also sponsored a related measure requiring judges to use ability to pay assessments before levying fines on city residents, which also passed the city council. Ability to pay determinations are relatively simple, explained Lisa Foster, co-director of the Fines and Fees Justice Center. “The amount it takes to deter Bill Gates from running a stop sign is much more than it takes to deter a low-income person,” she said. “So you find what makes sense for each person.” While many local jurisdictions have experimented with making these kind of evaluations a requirement for courts, state legislatures haven’t taken as much action on the issue. Joanna Weiss, the other co-director of the FFJC, said it makes sense for cities to act now instead of waiting on state lawmakers. Two federal appellate court rulings that found the city’s court systems dependence on fines and fees to be unconstitutional forced the city to act on the new requirement, Williams said. “We had to change,” he said. “But it’s also morally and fiscally sound to evaluate how much is reasonable for each person.” Researchers in some cases have found that imposing fees without an evaluation of a defendant’s ability to pay is counterproductive. “The practice leads to wasted resources, as efforts to secure payment from individuals who may be unemployed, homeless, or simply too poor to pay are often fruitless,” reads one report from Harvard Law School’s Criminal Justice Policy Program. https://www.routefifty.com/public-safety/2019/11/city-could-wipe-away-55000-old-warr... 11/12/2019 A City Could Wipe Away 55,000 Old Warrants - Route Fifty Page 4 of 7 Williams said that the warrant dismissal and ability to pay determinations are just the beginning. He next wants to push to dismiss warrants at SEARCH Connecting state and local government leaders criminal court and focus on communicating to the public what the city is doing. “If you change a law and don’t make people aware of it, you haven’t changed how it affects people’s lives,” he said. “I think this is the most important work we’ve done as a city because of the impact it can have on everyday people.” Emma Coleman is the assistant editor for Route Fifty.

President-elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.

Being able to vote and have that vote counted are essential to maintaining and preserving our democracy. Voting stands as one of the most important rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizens. The news of recent changes to the U.S. Postal Service’s delivery process, coupled with the Administration’s decision to withhold funding, is alarming and should be of grave concern to us all, particularly with the General Election only months away. While the Postmaster General’s actions to reverse these policies earlier this week were a positive step, we must be vigilant and relentless when it comes to a fair election, especially during these challenging times. The spread of the Coronavirus has already created challenges and uncertainty around our local, state and national electoral processes. We cannot afford further disruption. At our Annual Meeting in June, the U.S. Conference of Mayors passed two critical resolutions supporting safe and accessible elections and voting by mail.

  • Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks
    Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks Prior to Meeting With Governors and Mayors To Discuss Economic Stimulus and Pandemic Relief Legislation February 12, 2021 Hello, everybody. Thanks for coming in. I'm fortunate to have today a group of leading Governors and mayors of both political parties to talk about the COVID plan we've put forward, and their needs and their ideas and their recommendations on how to proceed. And the American Rescue Plan is—has multiple pieces. The most important piece, in my view, is making sure we give them enough capacity to deal with the virus in their States and how we're going to do that. But equally consequential is the need to help the States economically, in terms of everything from unemployment to being able to make sure that they're able to get kids back in schools and what role the Federal Government should play in helping the—getting that done. And you know, we've—these folks are all on the frontlines. They've been dealing with this crisis from day one. It's—I'm not making a political statement; it just, it's taken a while to adjust. They've been left on their own, in many cases. I think some have found what I found when I got here: that what we thought was available, in terms of everything from vaccine to vaccinators, was not the case. So I thank them for the work they did in their cities and their States in order to respond to the crisis.

    November 25, 2019 The Honorable Michael R. Pompeo Secretary of State U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street, NW Washington, DC 20230 Dear Secretary Pompeo, Mayors across the nation recognize the many contributions refugees make to their cities and to our nation as a whole. They strengthen our economy and enhance our culture. We write to urge the Administration to rescind the September 26 executive order and return this year’s refugee admissions to previous annual levels. For years, the United States has been a world leader in welcoming people who have fled violence and persecution and are seeking a safe place to call home. Since our refugee admissions program was established nearly 40 years ago, most administrations have recognized the global need for resettlement and determined the yearly admissions ceiling in consultation with Congress to fulfill the U.S. commitment. U.S. cities have long benefited from the annual arrival of refugees. Once they are resettled, refugees learn the new language, adjust to the different culture, and strive to establish a new life. In the process, they also enrich and bring cultural vibrancy and diversity to their local communities. Refugees contribute meaningfully to our economy as earners and taxpayers. While they receive initial assistance upon arriving in the United States, they see significant income increases in subsequent years. Their entrepreneurship rate is greater than that of other immigrants, as are their long-term investments in the country, including founding companies, earning citizenship, and buying homes. Indeed, they have positively reshaped cities across the country in recent decades by opening restaurants, buying vacant homes, contributing to the cultural landscape, and adding to the local workforce.

  • Framework and Analysis for Giving the Emergence
    Maria’s List 2018: Framework and Analysis for Giving The emergence of Trump did not begin in 2016, it is connected to decades of lost Democratic seats at the local, legislative, judicial, and state level. Democrat control of state legislatures and governor’s office is the lowest since the 1900s. In 2008, Dems controlled 59 percent of state legislatures, while now they control only 31 percent. Looking at the same time period, Democrats held 29 governor’s offices and now have only 16. We also must be cautious of holding the Electoral College solely responsible. Democrats lost well over 1,000 seats over the course of the Obama Administration, most of which do not involve the Electoral College. By successfully redrawing districts, Republicans have tilted the electoral map to their benefit, but the party is losing seats. In this political climate, if progressives want to win governance power, we must first, recognize that conventional political funding that has contributed to this current landscape. Most political spending is dedicated to TV ads that does not turnout nearly 60 percent of the Democratic base, the American Rising Electorate (millennials, people of color, unmarried women). It’s only aimed at the swing voters. Most importantly, we must give early financial support to elect bold progressive women and people of color, while also investing in increasing the turnout of our base. With current Midterm elections as well as the 2020 census and 2021 redistricting looming, we need some control of that process or it gets structurally harder. Traditional electoral investment has focused on recapturing mythical white working class voters at the neglect of working class in communities of color and women.

  • At Present, Our Country Needs Women's Idealism and Determination, Perhaps More in Politics Than Anywhere Else
    By Kamala Harris (D-CA), U.S. Senator It’s been 50 years since former U.S. Rep. Shirley Chisholm (D-NY) became the first Black woman elected to U.S. Congress. Her arrival on the national political stage was validation that our centuries-long work to claim seats at our country’s most powerful decision-making tables was not in vain. Chisholm’s salient, constant voice on behalf of disenfranchised Americans was a clarion call for Black women to continue pushing toward representational parity and for leadership that will work to realize our country’s founding principals of equity and opportunity for all. In the decades since, Black women have hurdled seemingly insurmountable challenges in our march toward full political representation. And while we have yet to reach this goal, The Chisholm Effect: Black Women in American Politics 2018 shows we continue to make important political gains even as our country struggles against some the most regressive, dangerous leadership and policies propagated since before Chisholm’s emergence. Among other facts, this status update—provided each year by Higher Heights Leadership Fund and the Center for American Women and Politics—highlights gains made in 2017 in the number of Black women holding statewide elected executive office and serving as mayors of the top 100 most populated U.S. cities. It also details how Black women remained energized during an off-election year, ultimately playing critical roles in organizing voters and casting decisive ballots in hotly contested races in Alabama, New Jersey and Virginia. The gains we are seeing today are a direct result of Black women’s brilliant strategy, tireless work and bravery in the face of conditions that are often unfair and sometimes dangerous.
