We encourage you to share the above images along with why you’re passionate about ending cash bail!

 

To help get you started, here are sample posts: 

Right now nearly half a million people are sitting in jail cells across the country simply because they can’t afford bail. They haven’t been convicted. They haven’t even had their day in court. Join me in the fight to #endcashbail. Follow @bailproject to learn more!
You were probably taught that you’re innocent until proven guilty, but when it comes to cash bail that’s *just not true*. The cash bail system in the U.S. is unjust, racist, and punishes people simply for being poor. Thankfully @bailproject is paying bail and working to end it! #FreedomShouldBeFree

Cash bail is one of the more hidden parts of systemic violence and a driving factor of mass incarceration. People lose jobs, their families, and more simply because they cannot afford bail. Support @bailproject in the fight to #endcashbail! 

Pretrial detention punishes people who are legally presumed innocent and often forces them to give up their right to a fair trial and take a plea deal to go home. If you agree that this is messed up and want to join me in taking action, follow @bailproject and donate to get someone out of jail today. 

Someone’s freedom should not be determined by the size of their wallet! How much money someone has should not determine whether they sit in jail before trial or are able to fight their case from the outside. Join me in the fight against cash bail by following @bailproject. #FreedomShouldBeFree

@bailproject runs a National Revolving Bail Fund. They bail people out of jail *for free* and support them in getting back to court. Once that person’s case closes, the money returns to the fund and they can use it to bail out the next person. At the same time @bailproject’s policy team is working to #endcashbail. Join me in supporting them today!
