Being locked in jail can lead to job loss, housing instability, and precious time away from family and loved ones. Cash bail is the entrance into the beast of mass incarceration. Join Melekte Melaku, lead organizer for the ACLU Ohio’s Campaign for Bail Reform and member of UUJO, to learn more about this issue and what you can do.
