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.

David Commins Jr. was the creator of The Philadelphia Secret Admirer. He was my partner, best friend, and the best writer I’ve ever met. He was also a fierce, lifelong advocate of individual freedom that fought valiantly in support of many causes: he was at Standing Rock in 2016, a participant in the ICE protests, and a proud puncher of Nazis. He passed away on 3/12/2020, but I still feel him with me. This donation is made in both his, and George Floyd’s memory.
