Support the Emergency Response Fund for Community Bail & Bond Funds!
*From May 30th-October 31, 2020, the Emergency Response Fund prioritized supporting bail for protest support across the National Bail Fund Network. In Spring 2020, and November 2020-2021, the Emergency Response Fund prioritized COVID-related release. As of January 2022, the Emergency Response Fund is used where it is most needed to free those that are most vulnerable and where resources are scarce.*
Every day, community bail & bond funds raise money to free our friends and neighbors from local and county jails as well as immigration jails. This is always urgent work as jails, prisons, and immigration jails have always been sites of violence and death. The COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbated this public health crisis.
Your contribution to the NBFN Emergency Response Fund at the Community Justice Exchange will be distributed across the 90+ community bail and bond funds of the National Bail Fund Network who are posting bail and bond for individuals in immigration detention and local and county jails. All funds are distributed as quickly as they can be used to free individuals in jails and immigration detention centers.
