Why this petition matters
Started by Ava Mirmiran
The current Bail System in the United States is based on a money currency and in response, people in poverty have an extreme disadvantage over the wealthy. In California, the government has started to amend cash bail. But the struggle isn't over yet! Kamala Harris and Rand Paul are two people fighting for the cause, they are donating $10 million to the reform of cash bail. They've been working together to amend the system. It affects people in poverty and people of color. After paying bail, people in poverty increase the rates of homelessness, lose their jobs, and can lose parental rights over their children if they have any.
