Help Free Black MAmas
In 2017, PCBF was founded after a group of community members came together a week before Mother's Day to raise money to post bail for Black mothers and caregivers. We raised $60,000 and freed 13 mothers and caregivers. Since then, through the Black Mama's Bail Out we've freed 260 Black mothers and caregivers and posted over $2.5 million in bail.
Last year we freed 36 Black mothers and caregivers and posted over $358,000 in bail. This year we recieved a grant of $100,000 from National Bail Out. Our goal is to raise at least an additional $50,000. Every dollar donated now through June 30th will go toward freeing Black mamas. We will be posting bail now through July 3rd.

Lets Get Free: The Transformative Art and Activism of the People’s Paper Co-op
180 pages of abolitionist art, collaborative blueprints, and community reflections
From 2014 - 2024 the People’s Paper Co-op (PPC) used a collaborative and multidisciplinary process to work directly with communities in Philadelphia that were impacted by the criminal legal system. These projects reshaped the reductive and discriminatory stories that criminal records tell into creative projects and installations that imagined a future world beyond our broken systems. Their massive public art campaigns and exhibitions reached tens of thousands of viewers and their art raised over $240,000 to free Black moms and caregivers. For Mother’s Day 2026, the PPC is launching their book and a corresponding exhibition focused on supporting, empowering, and expanding local abolitionist movements.
Starting Sunday May 10th, the first 50 people who donate $100 or more will reserve a pre-order copy of Let's Get Free. The books will be available from the publisher in late June 2026 and will be mailed from our Philadelpia office.
