ACLU Joins Coalition Partners Asking Congress to Protect and Release Incarcerated People in Fourth COVID-19 Package

On May 5, 2020, the ACLU joined coalition partners in urging the Congress to include provisions that protect, release, and support reentry of incarcerated people in the next COVID-19 relief package.
