After the vile murder of George Floyd, as protests spread to East Liberty, we watched with horror as our friends, families, and neighbors were brutally assaulted and arrested for the act of peacefully gathering. Our community of musicians, many of whom are actively involved in protests, and some of whom cannot be, realized that we could be helping out in another way. We came together to create this compilation, BAIL, in support of Bukit Bail Fund. 100% of proceeds from BAIL downloads go directly to supporting and freeing individuals incarcerated in Allegheny County Jail.
Bukit Bail Fund "prioritizes inmates who are at the highest risk of experiencing violence in jail: Melanated folks (including, but not limited to, folks who are Black, Latinx, and Native), those who experience chronic illness & disability, the working class and poor folk, those without homes, trans, queer, and gender non-conforming folk, people who are pregnant, those struggling with mental illness, and any other identity that has been disproportionately targeted by the systems of oppression that keep the industries of prison and jail running."
