Ranging from license suspensions to the loss of voting rights, there are many ways people are punished for not paying off minor offenses, and these experts discuss what can be done to stop it.To get involved in Miranda and Joanna's work, follow the National Center for Youth Law @NYCLnews and the Fines and Fees Justice Center @FinesandFeesJC on Twitter.

While the public has become aware of how various aspects of the criminal legal system produce unjust results, one area that many are less aware of is that things seemingly as simple as fines and fees can devastate millions of Americans who are poor, end up in debt, lose their vehicles and other impacts. The Fines and Fees Justice has been working to identify the problems associated with fines and fees, educate the community and change laws. They note: “Those who cannot immediately pay these costs face additional fees, license suspensions, loss of voting rights, arrest and jail. Stuck in a cycle of punishment and poverty, people can lose their jobs, their homes, and even their children. We have created a two-tier system of justice where poor people – and particularly communities of color – are disproportionately punished.” Everyday Injustice speaks with FFJC co-director Joanna Weiss about fines and fees and how they impact the lives of poor Americans.
Joanna Weiss is the co-founder and co-director of the Fines and Fees Justice Center, a national center for advocacy, information, and collaboration to end the unjust and harmful imposition and enforcement of fines and fees. Joanna Weiss was also the Director of Criminal Justice at the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. She created and managed the Foundation’s fines and fees portfolio, garnering millions of dollars of support for research, litigation, and technical assistance projects to address the negative impacts of fines and fees in the justice system.You can go to any Fines and Fees Justice Center to find out more about what they do.

How did a disheveled, intellectually combative gay Jew with a thick accent become one of the most effective (and funniest) politicians of our time?
