Black Liberation Fund

Providing Bail and Incarceration Support for Concerned Citizens in Charleston and Surrounding Areas

Black Liberation Fund serves as caregivers to those seeking liberation after an arrest. Since June we have supported protesters in Charleston and surrounding areas providing bail support, connecting to legal support, and other resources that are obstacles to pre and post-incarceration. We also support our local community members with bail resources on a case by case basis.

Did y'all 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 are an abolitionist organization that stands 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, bail and incarceration 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.
