Denton Bail Fund

Using donations sent from around the country, we were able to pay the $2,500 for the UNT student’s release today! It may take several hours for the jail to process the release. We will reply to this tweet once he confirms he is out. Thank you again for your support.

#SayHerName. #SandraBland should be celebrating her 37th birthday today. “Until justice rolls down like water...”

The solidarity & support bail funds received in 2020 contributed to so much freedom, but every year since at least 10+ states file bills trying to regulate & criminalize them as punishment. These laws exist now in NY, TX, & IN, but so many more are a constant threat. 1/3

To everyone who has had abortions: we love you so much! 💛

July 22, from 2-4 pm in Quakertown Park, we will be hosting a free store! Food, hygiene products, and clothing will be available free of charge. Take what you need, give what you can!

Reminder 70% of the Texas prisons do not have full air conditioning. = approx. 100,000 suffering HUMANs. So, HOW BAD IS IT? These are just a few of the triple digit temps that will be facing next week and will continue to deal with throughout the summer MONTHS!!#85ToStayAlive

Hi all, our shithead @TarrantCountyTX sheriff Bill Waybourn originated a bill which would eliminate 3rd party investigations into in-custody deaths when the death is from "natural causes." We know what happened to #RobertMiller in Waybourns jail. help us stop this bill. #txlege

If the state of Georgia were an independent country, it would have the highest incarceration rate in the entire world, over 900% higher than Canada's.

While we don’t advocate for people to be released just to be put under surveillance, nor do we think arrest or re-conviction rates equate to violence or harm, their own data makes it clear that there is no actual statistical justification why we cannot just #FreeThemAll!

Data from the Bureau Of Prison shows that 11,000 people were released from federal prisons & placed on home confinement during early days of COVID. only 17 of them were re-arrested. Thats a .15% recidivism rate! washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
