"Among the Audacious Project’s earliest grantees was the Bail Project, a radical group that posts bail for defendants—what it calls an 'act of resistance against a system that criminalizes race and poverty'—including felons charged with gun crimes...Not surprisingly, the group has since expanded to promulgating the cashless bail system currently devastating America’s cities in the name of 'social justice,' starting with Illinois in 2021. 'End cash bail,' the group writes on its website, 'freedom should be free.'"
