For a second year, BLM Blono is looking to reunite someone who is currently in the McLean County Jail with their family for the holidays.
Last year, they were able to bailout one person from the McLean County Jail so he could spend the holidays with his friends, family, and young son.
According to their GoFundMe page, a bailout is not only a way to reunite people with their families, but it also aims to raise awareness of the disparate impact of incarceration and the bail system, especially on folks of color.
The page adds,” Even a few days in jail can ruin a person’s life. They may lose their job, their family may lose housing and some even lose their children.
