National Lawyers Guild Foundation Inc
NLGF is the 501 (c)(3) arm of the National Lawyers Guild, which is the first racially-integrated bar association and the oldest and most extensive network of social justice activists working within the legal system to support people's movements. The National Lawyers Guild’s mission is to use law for the people, uniting lawyers, law students, legal workers, and jailhouse lawyers to function as an effective force in the service of the people by valuing human rights over property interests.
The Bail Project
The Bail Project is a national nonprofit organization designed to combat mass incarceration by disrupting the money bail system — one person at a time.
We believe that paying bail for someone in need is an act of resistance against a system that criminalizes race and poverty and an act of solidarity with local communities and movements for decarceration.
Over the next five years, The Bail Project will open dozens of sites in high-need jurisdictions with the goal of paying bail for tens of thousands of low-income people.
We won’t stop until meaningful change is achieved and the presumption of innocence is no longer for sale.
