Stop Trump From Ending Cashless Bail

Donald Trump just declared war on criminal justice reform.

He signed an executive order to strip federal funding from any state or city that refuses to bring back cash bail — threatening communities that are fighting to end a two-tiered system where freedom depends on your bank account.

Lawmakers must act immediately to block Trump’s order and protect the federal support that cities and counties rely on. Local leaders should be free to make policies that serve their communities — not be blackmailed by a president with a political agenda.

Tell Congress: “Don’t let Trump override criminal justice reforms and end cashless bail. Guarantee funding for cities and states that reject Trump’s bullying.”

Cashless bail reform has been shown to reduce jail populations without increasing crime. It helps keep families together and ensures that poverty isn’t a prison sentence. But Trump is using lies and fear to force states to abandon it — despite fact-checkers and public safety experts calling out his distortions.

Cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago could lose millions in federal grants unless they roll back progress. And if Congress doesn’t intervene now, Trump’s crackdown could spread even further.

We can’t let that happen. Congress must stand up to Trump’s power grab and defend the right of every community to pursue justice.

Sign now to demand Congress stop Trump’s attack on cashless bail and protect reform efforts nationwide.

The petition to Congress reads: “Don’t let Trump override criminal justice reforms and end cashless bail. Guarantee funding for cities and states that stand up to Trump.”
