Charitable Bail Funds, The Good and Bad!

About this episode

Charitable Bail funds have existed for decades. Follow the death of George Floyd these funds received an infusion of cash, specifically to bond out demonstrators protesting Floyd’s death. Vice President Kamala Harris posted on X, encouraging donations to a charitable bond fund, the Minnesota Freedom Fund. The fund raised $41 Million Dollars. Little of this money was actually used to assist demonstrators. Ultimately the Minnesota Freedom Fund assisted in freeing arrestees who went on to commit murder and rapes.
I will be joined by Jeff Clayton of the American Bail Coalition. We will explore the history, intent and actions of Charitable Bail Funds. We will explore efforts to regulate Charitable Bail Funds. This is a critical issue for the current Presidential race as Kamala Harris has worked to minimize her support of the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
