Community Bail Funds

Community Bail Funds are organizations that collect donations to help individuals who cannot afford bail after being arrested. When someone is jailed, they may be eligible for release by paying a set amount of money (bail) until their court appearance. Community Bail Funds aim to reduce the impact of a cash bail system that disproportionately affects low-income individuals. By providing financial support, these funds help people regain their freedom while awaiting trial, allowing them to maintain jobs, care for their families, and access legal representation, ultimately working towards a fairer justice system.
