Lastly there's the Minnesota Freedom Fund which operates a bail fund.
Bail funds and jail support are critical aidlines for the many everyday people who will come into police contact because of this ICE occupation.

Boosting Kentuckians for the Commonwealth:
Last night [July 17] there was a vigil in Cincinnati to protest 🧊 [ICE] detaining former chaplain Imam Ayman Soliman.
After the vigil concluded, a separate march took place across the Roebling Bridge into Covington. During that march, one NKY FTC member and multiple community members were arrested by Covington PD.
They are all facing first degree rioting charges, which is a Class D felony punishable by up to 5 years in jail.
🆘Here's the link to a bail fund set up by community members:

Students, the press, non-profit organizers, and community members were brutalized by Covington police for peacefully marching for immigrant rights. The police retaliation was unprecedented, including shooting rubber bullets, smoke grenades, tasers, pepper spray, and K9s. Many of those arrested were protecting others and trying to get out of harm's way; it's our turn to help them as they are in harm's way.
Next Saturday we're teaming up with our buddies at Appalachian Medical Solidarity and the Asheville Bail Fund to host a discussion on abolition through the lens of healthcare with Dr. Ronica Mukerjee, co-editor of "All This Safety is Killing Us."
This discussion will examine the book as well as the impacts of over policing and deadly conditions at the Buncombe County Detention Center on our own community's health and well-being. Copies of "All This Safety Is Killing Us" will be available during the event, along with opportunities to support local grassroots efforts toward health justice. We hope to see you there!

Update - EIGHT people were reportedly arrested this evening. I have not seen any specific bail fund requests yet but it's always a good idea to support our local community bail fund 👇🏿
If you're thinking about going to a protest it's also wise to learn about the bail fund now so you know how it works if you need it!
We all know that homelessness itself is criminalized, especially following the passage of Boston's tent ban ordinance last fall and the Supreme Court's ruling in Grants Pass V. Johnson earlier this summer. Warm Up's Legal Working Group is trying to chip away at the effects of this. Read on for more about our Court Support Program, an update on our Bail Fund, and how YOU can get involved!
