To build transformative communities, we must perform transformative acts of liberation. Cash bail is one of the aspects of the criminal justice system that keeps communities wrapped up in systemic slavery and in debt. The need to end cash bail is not new.

Thanks to the Ferguson Uprising and the Kalief Browder story, we know that the bail system creates financial barriers for those who find themselves against the criminal justice system. One of the largest barriers is not being able to afford bail.

The Louisville Community Bail Fund ( exists to not only bail out folks, but provide post-release support to get them from jail, fed, and to a situation of safety. LCBF also maintains a focus on preventative measures for those targeted by law enforcement and threatened with incarceration. While we work with national networks, we are also one of the only bail funds that rely entirely on support from individuals in our social justice community and impacted community.

September 14th, 2019 is a training for Black and Brown allies and accomplices to support the Louisville Community Bail Fund's keep outs, bail outs and support services network.

Allies and accomplices will receive an informational on the Louisville Community Bail Fund, The Movement for Black Lives demand to end cash bail and pre-trial detention and ways to plug in.

Sign up here.

The training is $25 (or what you can pay). All funds raised go to LCBF.
