Defendants are nine times more likely to plead guilty to a misdemeanor due to their inability to post bail, putting them at risk for losing their homes, jobs and ultimately making them unable to defend themselves. Automatically give your spare change from everyday purchases to help prevent the detrimental impact this has on our community.

After watching Ava DuVernay's documentary "13th" I recognize the urgent need and importance of work like this, would love to know what challenges you've faced so far @fakerapper and team?

@abadesi The biggest challenge has been educating folks on what bail actually is, which is why we prefaced the launch with an educational event (thanks for sharing that link!) Many people are ignorant as to the functionality of bail and that has been super eye opening

This seems like a no brainer, I pay no attention to my spare change so am happy to make an effortless contribution that has an impact on the lives of those less privileged than me.

Pros:

It's so simple to set up, linked my BofA account in a few seconds.

Cons:

None so far.
