Leaders of Rochester’s faith community gathered Tuesday to support New York’s cash bail reform measures that went into effect last month.
Several religious leaders spoke out Tuesday and urged local lawmakers to “not roll back on this legislation,” said Rev. Lane Campbell, minister at First Universalist Church of Rochester and the chairman of the Rochester Alliance of Communities Transforming Society (RocACTS) Religious Leaders Caucus. “This narrative of danger often targets black and brown people, as well as poor people, and we will not stand for it.”
