UPDATE. new new bail fund for cal poly humboldt is being coordinated by bay area anti-repression crew. (link here: rally.org/ARCbailfund) both cashapp & venmo are blocking funds now. i'm erasing my previous bail fund posts now, so as not to create further confusion.
Violence against students is an act of cowardice and shame. Read our full statement on the actions of VCU PD and VSP below, and donate now to @RVABailFund: ucw-vcu.medium.com/the-work-of-ed…
🛑🌎STOP THE WORLD FOR PALESTINE: A WEEK OF SOLIDARITY! April 15-21 2024 Join us in taking action for Palestine ❤️ Together with our community, we are continuing to support the 9 youth who were arrested following an occupation on Interstate 95 last month. #VAI9ForPalestine
The solidarity & support bail funds received in 2020 contributed to so much freedom, but every year since at least 10+ states file bills trying to regulate & criminalize them as punishment. These laws exist now in NY, TX, & IN, but so many more are a constant threat. 1/3
This horrifying bill just passed the Georgia House of Reps. It now heads to Gov Kemp. It requires people be held on bail for dozens of new, small-time charges—and criminalizes bail funds (after they bailed out many Cop City protesters, and more.) theappeal.org/georgia-bail-b…

Full text: tinyurl.com/kecuwj8j. This is scheduled to be discussed Feb 2, so if you are a constituent of @HopeforVirginia, @marcussimon, @RipSullivan6, @KarrieKDelaney, @mlmaldonado, @AtoosaReaser, @VA_JET, @Keys_Gamarra or Vivian Watts, please email them before Friday! (5/6)
On January 9, VA delegate Wren Williams introduced House Bill 846 “Charitable bail organizations; certification and regulation by DCJS.” Although the title seems innocuous, this bill is a blatant attack on community-organized bail funds like @RVABailFund and @757bailfund. (1/6)
As we've long expected, the State of Georgia today issued a RICO indictment against 60+ activists and others in their latest attempt at shutting down the right to protest in Atlanta. Three Solidarity Fund organizers are included in this indictment. [thread]
SCHR is reaching out to attorneys representing people named in the indictment & locating attorneys for those without counsel. Our current priority: ensure those indicted are released on bond, esp. given the horrendous culture at the Fulton Jail where 9 people have died this year.

The National Bail fund has now taken temporary responsibility for carrying out bail support in place of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund while the organizers of ASF “face targeted political repression.” secure.actblue.com/donate/atlanta…

the arrestees have been charged with money laundering and charity fraud. this is clearly a post-2020 experiment in targeting things like bail funds to indirectly stifle protest and increase the damage of further repression it's been said before but: this isn't just about Atlanta
escalation in the wave of repression happening in Atlanta right now, to my knowledge this is the first targeted raid resulting in arrests outside of the forest itself
I just donated to the Richmond Community Bail Fund @RVABailFund #endmoneybail donorbox.org/rcbf
The protesters jailed on bogus "terrorism" charges are being mistreated in jail. Calling the jail to express concern about them really does make a difference in their treatment! Imagine if it was you in there, and pick up the phone.
The 6 protesters arrested during the police attack on the Weelaunee Forest are still in jail and being denied bail! We are fighting to get them a new bail hearing ASAP. If you can, please help contribute bail funds, it will be very expensive to get them free.
