MN Freedom Fund: Covid-19 release

Join me in supporting the Minnesota Freedom Fund as we help post bail for people detained by ICE and folks jailed in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. I hope that the Covid-19 virus doesn't affect people in detention, but they — and the people who care for them — are at significant risk.  The Minnesota Freedom Fund  pays criminal bail and immigration bond for those who cannot afford, seeking to end discriminatory, coercive, and oppressive jailing. Counties and judges around the country have stopped the practice of pre-trial incarceration and most instances of cash bail in an attempt to respond to the pending crisis in a humane and forward-thinking manner. In the absence of a similar commitment from state and county officials, we can support MNFF in their efforts.  All donations will be matched by a generous donor, up to $1,000. All funds will be directed to posting bail for people currently in jail or ICE detention, and after these folks attend their court hearing, the money will return to MNFF.
