reblog this updated version of this post please!

i know everyone doesn’t have the funds to support causes like this and that’s okay. but if you do have the funds, please don’t just reblog it. actually give some money. it can be really easy to just reblog what you see (which is great!) and then forget to actually support the causes. it doesn’t have to be any crazy amount either. if you only have the means to give $5, that’s great. 

and because some people in the notes have been mentioning: yes, the cash bail system that we have in the united states should absolutely be abolished, and many of these funds that you see linked above participate in sustained activism and political outreach in order to advocate for that abolition. but these funds are still important towards helping individuals in the immediate term. just because the cash bail system is corrupt doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t do all we can to help bail out individuals from largely low-income communities of color who are constantly victims of a corrupt criminal justice system.
