In support of our community’s fight for liberation against the racist, blood thirsty, and oppressive organizations and institutions, and, in support of the progression and sustainment of the black-youth led movements - Yung Lords has joined in donating to help set the bail funds, as well as bond funds, of those who were arrested on the front lines of the national protest. Below are a list of bail and/or bonds funds to choose from. We encourage you to join us in donating.
In addition, at Yung Lords, we know and feel that this is a traumatic time for our black men and women across the country. Which is why we also created a list of free and/or and monetary accessible mental health resources to aid in the healing and aftermath of race based trauma. Think of these resources as spaces to recharge, so that we may continue to stand at the battle lines. Preserve your mental sanctuary so that we may continue the ongoing fight.
If there is no justice, there should be no peace.
-Talia Smith, CEO, Yung Lords
