We have big news! Since the January 2020 bail reforms, we have mostly not needed to pay $1 bails. Because this need no longer exists, we’d like to announce our plan to sunset our project. Read our statement on our closure as a bail-paying group and the next steps for DBB.
$1 bails have been rising again in NYC. DBB is now looking for someone to help coordinate volunteers & bail requests (tasks: helping monitor AND send emails). Please DM us or email dollarbailbrigade@gmail.com with interest

Lady I is a Black trans woman who broke her hip right after getting out of jail. She needs food and medical funds ASAP! bit.ly/ladyifund

URGENT MUTUAL AID request for two community members who are survivors of state violence. Community - let’s make sure they are taken care of as they heal.

ICYMI!
The DBB began this journey with an abolitionist vision, and recognize that our work together is unfinished until that vision is realized. Thank you for joining us in this struggle for liberation through action and imagination, and we hope to stay connected through the horizon.

Abolish the NYPD, $0 to prisons and policing. #DefundNYPD
Occupation will be here tonight and the rest of the week to #DefundNYPD and win money for our communities. If you have an office or community space downtown, places of worship, and can open your doors for bathrooms that’s helpful right now! Thank you!

We have ONE WEEK left before the NYC budget passes. ONE WEEK left for @NYCMayor @NYCSpeakerCoJo & @NYCCouncil to #DefundNYPD by at least $1 billion.
Join NYers to protest & occupy at City Hall. Demand #NYCBudgetJustice like our lives depend on it, because they do.

The #DefundPolice toolkit describes defund demands across the country, as well as alternative safety strategies in use. Don’t see your area? Use the toolkit to craft a campaign and connect with other organizers. #fundthepeople #defendblacklives bit.ly/InterruptingToolkit
Thank you all for joining our #DefundNYPD phone zap! We gotta sustain up this energy. If you can, commit to calling/emailing your reps every day until the budget is finalized on June 30.
And sign up for @FreeThemAll2020’s phone zaps below! We deserve nothing less than abolition.
⚡️PHONE ZAP⚡️
We must keep up pressure on @NYCCouncil and demand they act to abolish ALL agents of policing in our city!
$1 billion in cuts is not nearly enough. We need the budget for policing to be ZERO, and to defund cages.

This thread will cover the points raised in these recommendations. 1/
Live now: Abolitionist Recommendations to Defund NYPD, With No New Jails & Close Rikers Now. The city can reallocate BILLIONS away from producers of state violence (jails, prisons, NYPD) and invest BILLIONS in resources communities desperately need. bit.ly/DefundNYCPolicing
Time is ticking to finalize the budget and we need #NYCBudgetJustice.
When we say #DefundNYPD we mean it. And defunding is just one part of the solution to be free of the violence of policing + prisons. Abolition is possible + necessary for safe communities.
#AbolishThePolice
5 more minutes in our power hour, folks! Let’s leave @NYCMayor lots of voicemails, emails & tweets voicing the people’s demand to #DefundNYPD + #AbolishThePolice.
We can’t be safe with police terrorizing us. Safety means money for resources for our communities. We must defund.
