COVID-19 & Protest Rapid Response Fund

COVID-19 & Protest Rapid Response Fund


The Philadelphia Bail Fund is working urgently to free as many of our neighbors as possible during this pandemic. There is an urgent need to post bail as COVID-19 threatens people in jail, where crowded living quarters and inadequate health care make conditions ripe for a viral outbreak.


We stand in solidarity with those protesting the murder of Walter Wallace, Jr. at the hands of Philadelphia police, and earlier this year we supported Philadelphians protesting the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police Department. We demand an end to police violence against Black communities and are committed to providing direct bail assistance to people participating in actions to ensure their safe return home.


Since January 2020, we helped bring over 300 people home from Philly’s jails. But we continue to receive a flood of referrals, as our neighbors continue to be held in cages.


Your donation helps us respond quickly by freeing our neighbors who remain in jail simply because they cannot pay bail. Your support now means we can free as many people as possible, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I have never felt so connected to a place as I do Philadelphia, and the Philadelphians who need bail are humans. After the shooting of Walter Wallace Jr. I am struck by how easily people are able to strip him of his humanity by saying he deserved it. He was a person, and so are those going through the criminal justice system. I hope my contribution helps those who are protesting, and I also hope it helps others -- regardless of what someone has done, I hope that bail helps them have a night at home, because they are human, and they are loved.

Mental Illness is not a crime. Send social workers, nurses, and specialists with backup. Guns dont cure schizoid disorders, poverty, and racial oppression. They don't scrub out MOVE.
