Recently, we set up a community fundraising page for BailProject.org, one of the largest and most respected revolving bail funds in the United States.
Bail funds not only help those who've been arrested while protesting systemic racism; they also serve public health by keeping those awaiting trial out of jail during a pandemic, and they deny the predatory bail bond industry revenue they might otherwise put towards lobbying to maintain an unjust, racist system.
When a case has cleared, the money is returned to the fund to help someone else, further enhancing the efficacy of each contribution.

Money Bail Might Be the Most Racist, Immoral Part of America’s Criminal Injustice System
When listing all of the problems in America’s justice system, the racial disparities are too numerous to count, the facts, alone are astounding.
