The thing about philanthropy is that those individuals and organizations that are funded through philanthropic channels are doing some of the hardest work on the planet .. seeking justice and fairness and equity .., and that job is a real job. Billionaires are leaving the criminal law space and it’s happening all at the same time ..:We’re still here doing the work to move mountains to create a better, safer, more sustainable and equitable world for us all. We will keep the light on.

@jchausow The truth will always be it's a crime to to be poor in Amerikka because. It's never a" public" safety issue. It's a money issue because no matter what your charge is, if you pay the bail set, you free period.
By ending $ bail, we can move towards a more equitable justice system that upholds the principles of justice for all, regardless of $ or privilege. It's time to prioritize people over wealth and ensure that everyone is treated fairly under the law. #EndMoneyBail#FreeThemAll

Money bail undermines the principle of innocent until proven guilty by effectively punishing individuals before they have their day in court. Innocent people may feel pressured to plead guilty just to secure their release.

Keeping individuals in jail solely because they can not afford bail is not only unjust but also costly to taxpayers. Housing an individual in jail is significantly more expensive than implementing alternative pretrial release programs.

Money bail disproportionately affects low-income individuals who can not afford to pay the ransom for their release. This means people accused of minor offenses may spend weeks or even months in jail awaiting trial simply because they can not afford bail.
In our justice system, the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" is fundamental. However, the reality is often different, especially for those who can not afford bail. Money bail perpetuates inequality, punishing the poor while favoring the wealthy.
I want to say my 17 years in non-profit were as bad as my 6 years in prison, but I don’t want to insult the prison guards who never really cloaked their disdain for Black people with kisses and hugs.
