Two people, Abbi and Ilana, standing next to each other beside a logo for their sweepstakes and The Bail Project's logo.

This sweepstakes has ended, but you can still donate below.

Hi! This is awesome! You made it here—that means you want to END cash bail and/or potentially win a Zoom with us! Both are very noble causes.

In all seriousness though, thank you for taking part in this sweepstakes. The current bail system is unacceptable—cash bail is one of the more hidden parts of systemic violence, racism and a driving factor of mass incarceration. By making a donation, you are helping SO many people fight the system, not only through The Bail Project’s National Revolving Bail Fund (that keeps reusing bail funds over and over) but through continual community support and policy change.

While the suggested donation to enter to win a virtual hang with us is $10, please, if you can, consider giving more. And then, obviously read up on The Bail Project on their site and Instagram, what they do, how many people they help, and how you can stay engaged. Thank you so much again for showing up and taking part in this. Hope we see you on ZOOM!!

Love, Abbi + Ilana
