WFA would like to thank Primary Sponsor Sen. Marie Pinkney and co-sponsors for introducing SB 4 last week, which has been assigned to the Senate's Corrections & Public Safety Committee. SB 4 would amend the Delaware Code relating to the criminal justice system by:

-Ending incarceration of probationers for technical violations
-Enabling the customization of conditions of probation to meet individual needs
-Requiring the collection and publication of community corrections data
-Investing in community-based re-entry programs

We look forward to supporting this bill and efforts to get it passed into law.

Join Black Mothers in Power and Wilmington Freedom Alliance for our 2nd Annual Black Mama's Bailout !

Did you know that there are Mamas who can not afford bail during pretrial? The majority of incarcerated women are in for nonviolent offenses and are first time offenders. It is time to examine how race, class, and gender play a role in the criminal justice system.

So for Mother's Day, Black Mothers In Power and Wilmington Freedom Alliance are raising money to contribute to a bail fund mainly for Black Mamas in Delaware. We are also working on identifying data specific to incarcerated Mamas in our state to understand the impact of our bail system.

Can you make a $20.00 contribution so we can get Mamas home to their children for Mother's Day?

Omar is at risk of being sent to prison in Delaware if he cannot pay his fine by the end of the month to get off of probation. In Delaware, about 1/4 of all incarcerated people have already tested positive for the coronavirus because of prison conditions. This page is to help ensure he isn't sent there, because that is just as important as the work to get compassionate release for incarcerated people inside.

Philadelphia Bail Fund The Philadelphia Bail Fund is a community bail fund based in Philadelphia that posts bail for people who are indigent. We work with the community to vigorously advocate for the end to cash bail in Philadelphia and cities around the United States.

Wilmington Freedom Alliance is a 501(c)(3) organization providing free legal and bail assistance for indigent persons in the City of Wilmington, Delaware, who are otherwise financially incapable of obtaining such services, providing relief to the poor and distressed.

While it is not possible to post bail for every person who needs it, WFA prioritizes people whose communities have been particularly impacted by police violence, specifically, BIPOC, women, undocumented citizens, children, LGBTQIA+ people, s*x workers, pregnant people, the elderly, victims of domestic violence, and victims of police violence.
