Mandatory Minimums

The 2009 Oregon Legislative Session is underway.  Take a look at what we are working on this year.

Editorial boards of newspapers from across the state agree with Partnership for Safety and Justice. Measure 61 is yet another fatally flawed measure from Kevin Mannix while Measure 57 is the better alternative. Here is a list of editorial positions on these two measures from across Oregon.

With the ballots to go out in the mail in just a couple of weeks, the Bend Bulletin explains the fiscal and sentencing implications of Measure 57 and compares it to Measure 61.

You can still help stop Mandatory Minimum Madness! As you know, we are working hard to defeat Measure 61 and Election Day is fast approaching. Kevin Mannix has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from his out-of-state sugar daddy, Loren Parks. Partnership for Safety and Justice and its sister organization, Safety and Justice Action Fund, need to raise money and awareness if we are going to defeat this measure.

We have been having house parties, but not everyone can host a party in their own home. So for everyone who couldn’t host or attend a party, we are having two BIG house parties and everyone is invited! October 9th in Eugene and October 14th in Portland

Media coverage from around the state about the devastation Measure 61 would cause and the supporting the more balanced alternative measure (Measure 57).
