Cash bail has always unfairly benefited the rich and targeted the poor, forcing those who cannot afford release to remain detained for extended periods of time while the wealthy buy their way out of detention. United Way Bay Area is an advocate for policies that seek to address these disparities and Prop 25 represents a significant step in the right direction by eliminating cash bail. Find out more about Prop 25 and why we support it here: https://untdwy.org/31RsDGC #vote
