@ForTheFAAM@BarredBusiness Meet Nikita, a mother, fighter, and survive whose story shows the harsh reality many Black mamas face under our current bail system. Locked up and separated from her family, it was orgs like @BarredBusiness + @ForTheFAAM + @NationalBailOut that secured her freedom. 🖤
On July 1, Senate Bill 63 begins — effectively outlawing community and charity bail funds in the state of Georgia.
That means we have until July 1 to raise money for @ForTheFAAM & @BarredBusiness, as they provide direct support.

Jails and prisons go against everything that Reproductive Justice stands for. They deny people bodily autonomy, safe conditions, and vital resources.
Jails and prisons are not a solution to the problems that Black mamas face, but a root cause.
Mother's Day may be over, but Black Mamas still need your help — 365 days of the year. We're teaming up with @forthefaam + @BarredBusiness to raise funds for justice-impacted Black mamas! 💸
Get into These Recaps: Bailout Brunch & Awards! 🎉

90% of people with bail under $1,000 are unable to pay, which results in them being kept in cages until their cases are resolved — which can take years.

We’re 5 days away from Mother’s Day and we’re $70K away from raising $200K!
Help us not only bail out Black Mamas and caregivers but also provide the resources they need to flourish. ❤️

Here we go.
This week the Free Atlanta Abolition Movement & @BarredBusiness embark on their fourth Black Mamas Bail Out, a program where we free Black mothers and caregivers from Atlanta area cages — those stuck in pretrial detention simply because they can’t afford bail
So this week, we’ll be getting them out by posting bail for them and working with their existing support system to get them stabilized on the outside. Our resources don’t just go to bail, they also help people build their lives. You can help us fundraise @ https://t.co/oR9LHIS0z0
