If it's #Friday, it's time for "This Week in #FreeToDrive and #EndJusticeFees"!
This week: expanded fee elimination work with conservative allies in #Oklahoma, an alarming trend in automated traffic enforcement, and looking ahead to a convo with #Missouri partners about ending pretrial fees.
Looking back on the week that was... Here's the latest in *This Week in #FreeToDrive and #EndJusticeFees*

#Idaho joined the #FreeToDrive movement years ago. Now, lawmakers want to undo their own win—and undermine their own economy & workforce.
Not the only state that's tried to move backwards. Headwinds are real. But @finesandfeesjc.bsky.social & our conservative allies have held & will hold the line.
A driver's license isn't a plastic card. It's an existential tool for survival.
On the #FreeToDrive campaign, we fight debt-based license suspensions. Identity-based policies like this? Different basis, same cruelty.

Progress in #Arizona. Challenges in #Ohio. Building blocks in #Wisconsin.
This week in #FreeToDrive and #EndJusticeFees: building events with state partners, #Chicago making a bad choice, and getting ready to learn from some allies in #Minnesota. Let's go! #advocacy
Let's try this out. Each #Friday, I'll drop a video: 'This Week in #FreeToDrive & #EndJusticeFees'. I want to bring y'all into @finesandfeesjc.bsky.social two national campaigns. Share a little about what we're doing & why it matters. One plus, one delta, one thing I'm looking forward to. Let's go!
Hell yes. Thankfully, we've been making progress steadily for years.
26 states have rolled back or ended debt-based license suspensions. Dozens of states and localities have eliminated justice system fees.

🚨breaking news🚨 from @finesandfeesjc.bsky.social.
#Mississippi's HB 289 - attempted rollback of groundbreaking #FreeToDrive law: dead.
#Arizona's HB 2265 - potentially historic #EndJusticeFees legislation - passed unanimously out of committee.
Years of work. Big wins.
Onwards.
#Monday for the National #Advocacy Team at @finesandfeesjc.bsky.social is prepping: #EndJusticeFees testimony in #Arizona; kickass opposition statement to prevent #FreeToDrive rollbacks in #Mississippi; powerful speech to #NewYork legislators to support #EndPredatoryFeesAct.
So proud of this team.
In #Massachusetts, you can get your license suspended due to debt. This isn't about #roadsafety. This is trapping and harming people who are struggling.
#NewPoll: 78% of MA voters agree: let's end this shameful practice and pass the #RoadToOpportunityAct. #FreeToDrive

The voters have spoken: court debt should never decide who is #FreeToDrive. It’s time for Massachusetts to pass the #RoadToOpportunityAct — common-sense solution to expanding fairness, road safety, & opportunity.

#Massachusetts has the chance to make history by passing the Road to Opportunity Act - a law to end the ineffective, inhumane practice of debt-based license suspensions - and joining the 26 states that have taken that step toward economic and racial justice. #FreeToDrive www.nclc.org/statement-of...
We’re opening the series by highlighting one of the year’s most significant milestones: the progress achieved through our #FreeToDrive campaign.

The #RoadToOpportunityAct is a common-sense solution that would ensure that court debt never decides whether safe drivers are #FreeToDrive.
💡 tinyurl.com/4jajc4ez
In a state where 70% of people commute to work by car, taking away a license is equivalent to taking away someone’s livelihood. Ending this practice would improve fairness, safety, & opportunity – and ensure that court debt never decides whether safe drivers are #FreeToDrive.

Across the country, debt-related license suspensions have harmed our communities and hindered economic mobility. In the six years since we launched #FreeToDrive, FFJC has worked with advocates, policymakers, and system leaders to advance reforms that reduce or end this practice. 🧵
