Why Do You Care About Bail Reform?

Every year, thousands of Californians are jailed before even having their day in court — all because they can't afford to pay bail to buy their freedom. The effects of this unjust money bail system are wide-reaching, tearing apart families and communities across the state.

As we fight to reform this broken system this year, we want to hear from those fighting alongside us. Will you take our two-question survey?
