Friend,
Right now, hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. are stuck behind bars simply because they cannot afford to pay bail. Vera has been advocating for decades to end this unjust practice.
Add your name if you agree: freedom should not be contingent on how much money you have.
Money bail creates a two-tiered system of justice. Every day people who can’t afford the price of their freedom are trapped behind bars, while others with the means to pay can return home to await their day in court. It shouldn’t be this way. Money shouldn’t determine freedom.
We must end money bail!
Vera and our local partners across the country are championing a new system of pretrial justice, but political fear mongering has driven a renewed backlash against reform.
That's why our efforts to end money bail have never been more important. Will you join us?
In solidarity,
Vera Institute of Justice
