On Thursday, 50+ youth activists were arrested blockading the entrance to Senator Chuck Schumer’s Office in Washington, D.C. The activists have been held for hours with bail set at $50 per person. The activists were standing up against the filibuster, demanding that the Senate elect a new Senate Majority Leader who will serve on behalf of the people, not big corporations. Please help us get our friends out of jail, cover their legal fees and associated costs, so they can continue fighting against a corrupt government.

*Funds will be used to reimburse organizers for bail which they paid out of pocket, to cover the costs of return travel for the protesters, and to cover any further legal costs that may arise from their arrest. Any funds left over will be used for mutual aid (rent, groceries, bills, and unexpected emergency expenditures for poor and working class organizers) to support pro-democracy organizing in the United States.*
