his petition is for people to show support for our beloved neighbor Dante Starks. It will be submitted to the Magistrate at his upcoming Bail Reconsideration Hearing. Dante was swept up in a federal raid in 2017 on a minor drug charge. Because of the racist War on Drugs that targets Black men, an overzealous federal prosecutor is looking to bury him in a federal prison. Although presumed innocent, Dante was denied bail and has been incarcerated for over two years. This pretrial incarceration is unjust and harmful, and it is past time for Dante to be released on bail so he can be at home caring for his three children and preparing for his trial.
