We are raising funds to support this year's Youth Holiday Bail Out through November 27th. Help us bring youth age 21 and under home for the holidays. We are trying to raise $50,000 to bring youth home for the holidays.

Please do not call the cops when someone is having a mental health crisis. They escalate the crisis and put people in more danger. In Philly, you can call 988 to get in touch with non-police mobile crisis teams. Thank you @leximcmenamin.com for reporting on this for @teenvogue.com.

PCBF thanks the Philadelphia Foundation for their recent grant of $50,000 from the S Albert Fund. This grant will enable us to do the vital work of helping to free our neighbors who are jailed pretrial because they cannot afford bail and offer support once they come home.

PCBF is gearing up to support our neighbors arrested for protesting to defend the rights and lives of ALL of us. We are accepting bail requests for folks arrested while protesting. Visit phillybailout.org to submit a request. Also, our hotline will open Saturday. Call 267-225-6047.

PCBF sincerely thanks our comrades at Believers Bail Out for granting us $87,500 from zakat funds #freeblackmamas who are Muslim. We're posting bail 2x more this month to wrap up our Black Mama's Bail Out campaign. So far we've bought back the freedom of 26 Black mamas and caregivers for $225,079

We are not accepting new bail requests until we re-open in September. We are processing the last bail requests from Black Mama's Bail Out and will finish posting bail for that campaign on June 27th.

We are up to $44,508 to #freeblackmamas as of 6:40PM on Mother's Day! There are 5 hours to go before our fundraiser ends. We've bought back the freedom of 12 mamas so far. Help us reunite more Black mamas and caregivers by giving at phillybailout.org/donate

We're ready to welcome home our first group of mamas tomorrow morning! We plan to post bail to buy back the freedom of 11 women for $163,129! Thank you to all who have given! Returning bail, your current generosity, and a $75K grant from @nationalbailout.bsky.social have made this possible.

We've raised $33,362 to #FreeBlackMamas! Thank you to everyone who has given and who are holding fundraisers. A huge thanks to RG Philly for their recent fundraiser that brought it in a lot of money! We are raising money through Mother's Day! You can give at phillybailout.org/donate

As of this afternoon, we've raised $6,490 of our $75,000 goal! Mother's Day is 13 days away. Can you help us reach our goal of raising $75,000 by Mother's Day? Please help us #FreeBlackMamas by donating and spreading the word to your networks! phillybailout.org/donate

This morning we posted bail for the last youth on our list for the Youth Holiday Bail Out. We raised $51,320 to buy back the freedom of kids jailed pretrial on high cash bail. We were able to free 10 kids this year for $85,130! Thank you to everyone who donated! phillybailout.org/donate

PCBF is joining comrades across the country in raising money to #freeblackmamas this spring. We are bailing out Black mamas and caregivers held pretrial on high bails. Help us match the $75,000 granted to us by @nationalbailout.bsky.social by donating at phillybailout.org/donate until Mother's Day!

We will be closed to new bail requests starting Sunday March 30th at 11:59PM so that we can prepare for Black Mama's Bail Out. We will begin accepting requests for bail help for Black mamas and caregivers in mid-April. Look for that announcement soon!

Update!! We've changed the time of our Virtual Volunteer Meeting so as not to conflict with mobilizations planned for Saturday. We are now meeting on Thursday April 3rd from 6:30 to 8pm. Register at tinyurl.com/PCBFBMBO #freeblackmamas

Israeli authorities are withholding at least 665 Palestinian bodies, some buried or stored in refrigerators since the 1960s, with others killed as recently as last week, per the National Campaign for Retrieval. 🔴 LIVE updates:

Authorities in Gaza say Israel is blocking 135,000 mobile homes, 500 bulldozers, and other humanitarian aid promised in the first phase of the ceasefire deal. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: https://aje.io/8eizdz

Trump has dismantled the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. He has fired hundreds of FAA workers who did everything from maintenance and mechanics to aviation safety — and he’s threatening even more. He is putting our safety at risk. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Trump admin is chomping at the bit to kill the people on death row whose sentences Biden commuted, and looking for any possible way to make them suffer. It’s sadistic and detracts from resources that could actually improve public safety. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/02/16/t...

For those of you not paying attention in the back row and, especially, in the front row:

As shown in this story from The Appeal, if Amendment 3 passes, system-involved youth would be exposed to a wide array of harms and abuses within the adult criminal legal system instead of the rehabilitative services associated with the juvenile legal system. Say NO to Amendment 3 here: noon3la.org

We see many such charges levied against unhoused people when they are trying to survive. Instead of meeting the clear need, Philly chooses to disapear folk in jails.

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

Israel has violated the ceasefire in Gaza 266 times since it came into effect on January 19, killing at least 132 people, Palestinian security sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/dh48s1

One of the reasons we work to free our neighbors from jail is that pretrial detention causes irreparable harm to folks who are already struggling, such as unemployment, homelessness, and loss of custody of children. It destroys families and plunges people deeper into poverty.

So far we've freed 8 kids held on cash bail for $67,610. We hope to free more next week. Our window for accepting bail requests for children and youth held on cash bails of $150,000 or higher closes Friday Feb 14th. Call 267-225-6047 or apply at phillybailout.org. #endcashbail

So far we've helped free 4 youth from cages for $32,570! Thank you to all who gave to this year's Youth Holiday Bail Out including Believer's Bail Out (believersbailout.org) who helped us bring 2 of these young people home! We hope to bring more youth home next week. (Post 1 of 2) #endcashbail

This video is a perfect example of what’s happening in Altadena. National guard & cops with guns out on one side of street - while community organizes mutual aid & resources next to a burnt down house across the way The state isn’t doing anything here other than a show of force

We managed to raise $67,916 to free children and youth held on high bails! And that tally is not even counting donations made by mail. Thank you to all who've given. We hope to bring home our first round of kids next week!

#tdih 1972 Roberto Clemente died in plane crash. He flew at great risk & only as last resort with supplies for earthquake devastated Nicaraguans. If Nixon had aided Nicaraguan people instead of dictator Somoza after quake, might history have changed? Read ⬇️ www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ro...

We've received tons of kind notes from people inside thanking yall for writing cards. Incarcerated ppl tell us receiving mail lights up their cell— you can be part of that by sending winter mail, monthly birthday cards, or becoming an on-going penpal. linktr.ee/abolitionistmailproject

Hundreds of thousands of people are locked up in state prisons where any holiday cards they receive will be scanned and photocopied before they can see them – or they can pay a prison profiteer to send an e-message. End mail scanning policies now!

Pretrial detention hurts people for the rest of their lives. It's time to start protecting the presumption of innocence so people receive a fair shot at justice — a meaningful, achievable reform 30+ other promising changes to fight for in 2025: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/winnable2025.html

I think it is due to our bloated "defense" budget.

December is our annual Home for the Holidays fundraiser. Please donate today, we’re receiving hundreds of requests every month. There’s a huge unmet need in our community. Every dollar counts. www.nwcombailfund.org/homeholidays...

Four years after protests against police violence, Khalif Miller is still calling for justice from prison, Tamar Sarai reports. The Philadelphia native was arrested during the 2020 uprisings, when hundreds of protesters faced federal charges & stricter punishments. prismreports.org/2024/12/19/k...

Philadelphia's City Council is unconstitutionally censoring critics of the proposed 76ers arena at meetings. So we joined Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) to send a letter to council reminding them of their First Amendment obligations: www.aclupa.org/sites/defaul...
