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.

We need justice for Breonna Taylor. The officers that fatally shot her in her own home need to be in jail.

Black lives matter to me. I wanted to be able to use at least part of my government stimulus check to make sure we are able to protest injustice by the very people and systems that are supposed to protect us all.

Thank you for the work that you do! I am dedicating my donation in memory of my dad. In 2009 we were falsely arrested. My dad was punched in the face by a Philly cop after he was handcuffed. He was only arrested because he pleaded with the cops to stop hurting his daughter when they arrested me for something I didn't do. He passed away in 2015.
