Help us bail out Black mothers and caregivers for Mother's Day!
Many of the Black mothers and caregivers who languish behind bars are incarcerated simply because they cannot afford to post money bail. For one, no one should be locked in a cage for being poor. And two, no mother or caregiver should have to meet their fate alone behind the bars of a jail cell. Due to the hightened risk of coronavirus in jails, we need to release as many people as possible.
National Black Mama’s Bail Out Day is a coordinated effort by community organizations, advocates, and families to reunite Black mothers with their families. Every donation will go to ensuring we can bail out as many Black mamas and caregivers from cages as possible while offering safe housing options, a weeks' worth of groceries, and holistic supportive services to every person we help free.
When we reunite Black mothers and caregivers with their families, all of our communities thrive. Black women are often the primary support for their families and incarcerated loved ones. When you chip in, you’re part of the fight to keep more families connected despite racist structures in place that seek to break Black familial bonds.
