ArchCity Defenders, St. Louis Action Council and Decarcerate St. Louis Partner To Get People Out of Jail and Help Them Get Home

Organizations within the Movement for Black Lives are partnering to highlight the impacts of the money bail system on the black community this Mother’s Day and beyond. Every year, tens of thousands of people are held in jail for low level contact with the criminal legal system and are trapped because they cannot afford to pay bail.
