Support #FreeBlackMamas 2020 COVID-19 Bail Outs



Incarcerated Black mothers may never get to see their families again because of COVID-19. And many of these people are locked up simply because they can't afford to pay bail. The longer they sit behind bars the longer their lives are unnecessarily being put at risk. Jails are Petri dishes for deadly viruses like coronavirus. People locked in these jails are subject to overcrowding, poor sanitation, no access to sinks to wash their hands or hand sanitizer, and social-distancing is impossible. No Black mother should lose their life to COVID-19 because she can't afford to pay bail. Public health officials have repeatedly warned that the only way to flatten the curve and to save countless lives is to do everything we can to decrease jail population sizes immediately. It is critical not only for the safety of those individuals, but for their families, their communities, and the staff at the jails who also face the increased and unnecessary risk of exposure to COVID-19. 


That's why the National Bail Out Collective is bailing out Black mamas and caregivers from cages. We must act with urgency to get as many Black moms free before it's too late.


We need your help to get our people free. Donate to pay a Black mama's bail.
