Mama's Day Bail out
Some mothers will be celebrating Mother's Day without their families this year. The cash bail system unjustly separated them. These women are in custody because they can't afford to pay the bond that would release them to carry on with their life, family, and work while their case advances.
Minnesota Freedom Fund is working to change that with the Mama's Day Bail Out. Give generously so they can be home for Mother's Day! Let's reunite some MN families this Sunday.
