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.

This donation comes from Philadelphia Union fans and members of Sons of Ben who have been gathering together virtually weekly since the lock down started. We created a jersey to commemorate our time spent together and we decided that we wanted to give the proceeds from the jersey to the bail bond to help the city we love and help those who are being arrested for peacefully protesting the wrongful murder of George Floyd among many others. During this time, we as a city must stay united. We are all Philly Strong and we must unite together to overcome and abolish the racist tendency's this nation has long overlooked.
