John, The protests that have erupted across the country have brought the issue of police brutality to the forefront of the public eye. Peaceful protesters across the country are facing violence at the hands of the police and are being arrested even though they have not committed a crime. It has long been a part of my platform to abolish the cash bail system that keeps hundreds of thousands of Americans behind bars before they’ve had a fair trial, simply because they cannot afford bail. There is so much more we need to do address racism, police brutality, and unlawful arrest, but one thing anyone can do right now is donate to Manhattan’s local bail fund: Will you donate to COVID Bailout NYC right now? With COVID-19 still spreading throughout the country, it is not safe for anyone to be incarcerated right now. We should do everything we can to ensure that anyone who can’t afford it, can post bail. Please rush a donation to COVID Bailout NYC. This organization is prioritizing the medically vulnerable and people of color. Please join me in supporting this fund. It’s the least we can do. All my best, |
