Why Fines and Fees
Fines and fees have devastated the lives of millions of Americans, trapping many in a cycle of poverty and punishment; these impacts fall most heavily on low-income communities and communities of color. Recognizing the harms of fines and fees in their communities, many city and county leaders have chosen to reform their local fine and fee policies, ensuring they do not place a disproportionate burden on vulnerable communities.
Applications will be reviewed as they are received and preference will be given to teams that apply on or before Wednesday, July 10th.
