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.

After seeing the video of those peaceful protestors being gassed and trapped while peacefully protesting..... it made my heart boil even more and I needed to donate. Police brutality is completely unacceptable and I hope my donation goes into helping a free, innocent individual that was arrested and brutalized by simply advocating for justice.

For each day that the protests continue, I intend to donate to this fund to show solidarity with protestors of police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s death and support their efforts while I am myself unable to join.
