On September 3rd the GRPD violently arrested Isaiah, a young Black man, for allegedly “fitting a description” from a burglary in progress even though he was at work and his coworkers told police that he had been there for hours. Isaiah is currently facing multiple charges related to his traumatic arrest. We were glad to be able to post the bond and get Isaiah out the following day, but he and his family need more support with fees for a lawyer and other expenses. Please join us if you can in supporting Isaiah so he can fight these charges and move on with his life! Fundraiser link in our bio.
In the spirit of abolition and solidarity, we have endorsed @jailhouse_lawyers_speak's national call for Shut 'Em Down demonstrations outside prisons, jails, and ICE detention centers on August 21st and September 9th, 2021. In the days leading up to the demos, JLS will be posting more information and planned locations on their website, linked in our bio. If you'll be organizing a demo or your organization wants to be listed as an endorser, you can email them at outthemud.jls@protonmail.com.
❗️Urgent call to support comrades fighting to #StopLine3 ❗️
Millions of people took the streets last summer in response to the police murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and countless other Black people. We had the privilege of bailing out some of those who put their bodies on the line in Michigan, starting in Grand Rapids. A year later, hundreds of people are still facing federal charges brought by Attorney General William Barr under the direction of the Trump administration.
In the first four months of 2021, we’ve continued to bail people out of jail as a direct form of movement solidarity and as a small step toward the abolition of cash bail and incarceration.
Although we’d been planning and building capacity for more than a year, 2020 was when we began regularly posting bail for people arrested and charged with crimes in Michigan. Like many other community bail funds around the country, we were galvanized and inspired by the uprisings against anti-Black police violence that started in the late spring, and our work benefited from the generous solidarity of thousands of people who donated money to free those facing legal repression in the days following May 30th from pretrial detention.
