Did yall know the United States and the Philippines are the only two countries in the world where someone has to put up cash to avoid being imprisoned before their trial?

 

We stand for wealth justice and the abolishment of cash bail which is wealth-based discrimination used as a vehicle for the criminal justice system that targets low-income populations. Black people , People of color, and immigrants in the Low Country face higher rates of arrest, harsher sentencing, and bail inequalities.

In this time of COVID-19 and the disposal impacts, it has on our black communities, it is of the utmost importance that we prioritize the health and safety of our community.
