Chicago Community Bond Fund
CCBF organizers look at criminal justice holistically. Since their founding in 2015, the group has operated a revolving bond fund to free folks from Cook County Jail prior to trials as well as working on national efforts to end cash bond and pretrial incarceration. To put their work into larger perspective, by February CCBF had paid bond for two hundred people, with more than a million dollars moving through the bail fund. (Kerry Cardoza)
