BAIL FUNDS

National Bail Fund Network
The National Bail Fund Network is a national project that works with organizers, advocates, and legal providers across the country that are using, or contemplating using, community bail funds as part of efforts to radically change local bail systems and reduce incarceration.
National Bail Out
The National Bail Out collective is a Black-led and Black-centered collective of abolitionist organizers, lawyers and activists building a community-based movement to support folks and end systems of pretrial detention and ultimately mass incarceration.

The Bail Project - National Revolving Bail Fund
Seeks to combat mass incarceration and reshape the pretrial system in the United States.

Tucson Second Chance Community Bail Fund
The Tucson Second Chance Community Bail Fund (TSCCBF) was established to address the disproportionate impact of the cash bail system on communities of color and vulnerable populations here in Pima County. This effort is an outgrowth of Black Lives Matter (BLM) Tucson’s May 2017 “Mama Bailout Campaign.”
