Founded in 2007 The Bronx Freedom Fund was the first of its kind effort to disrupt the injustice of cash bail in New York City by posting bail for thousands of lowincome New Yorkers incarcerated before trial. Through its decadelong effort to transform pretrial justice in New York The Bronx Freedom Fund reunited thousands of families separated by bail while pioneering the revolving bail fund model as a tool in the fight against mass incarceration and the criminalization of race and poverty. On January 1 2020 after more than a decade The Bronx Freedom Fund stopped posting bails in light of long overdue reforms that ended cash bail for the majority of cases where charitable bail funds can provide assistance under state law. However in light of subsequently enacted rollbacks The Bronx Freedom Fund once again stands ready to resume offering bail assistance.
