Hundreds of people marched from the Presbyterian USA headquarters to Jefferson Square Park as leaders shared the vision to eliminate cash bail. Thousands of people sit in jail for many days, weeks, and months because they cannot afford minimal payment to be released.
In many cases, this ruins someone's life causing them to lose their home, job, transportation, and families.
End cash bail now!
