Abolition is about presence, not absence. It’s about building life-affirming institutions. – Ruth Wilson Gilmore

Mission

Guided by the lived experiences of formerly-incarcerated folx, we work to extricate our people from dehumanizing cages and to resource a network of healing, legal and mutual aid as we organize to build alternative futures for ourselves and our communities. Our mission is to create transformative systemic change through the creation of a Black-led abolition foundation and network as we organize and envision the end to discriminatory, coercive, and oppressive jailing. We believe that every movement towards our mission and vision helps dismantle the social, political, and economic barriers that dehumanize Black people.

How We Do

Spending just a few days in jail can result in the loss of housing, jobs, and even custody of children. We recognize that cash bail criminalizes poverty, thus perpetuating inequities in the justice system that disproportionately impact Black people. 

We enable our people to return home to their families and communities while awaiting their court dates by providing bail assistance to individuals deemed eligible for release before trial contingent on paying bail. We post bail regardless of charge and/or court history.
