End Money Bail

The money bail system unfairly jails individuals and saddles them with unreasonable financial burdens. Individuals awaiting trial — people who haven’t been convicted of any crime — spend months incarcerated simply because they can’t afford bail. Even more disheartening, research has shown that individuals who can’t afford bail are more likely to be convicted in court than someone who was released on bail. Love Resists has joined Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism (BLUU) in working to end money bail and this system of criminalizing individuals for being poor. (From UUA website). Read more here.
